CREATURES OF THE WILD

LACIER, once the favorite hunting ground of the Blackfeet and now for fifteen years strictly preserved, has a large and growing population of creatures of the wild. Its rocks and precipices fit it especially to be the home of the Rocky Mountain sheep and the mountain goat.

Both of these large and hardy climbers are found in Glacier in great numbers. They constitute a familiar sight in many of the places most frequented by tourists.

Trout fishing is particularly fine. The trout are of half a dozen Western varieties, of which perhaps the cutthroat is the most common. In the larger lakes the Mackinaw is caught up to twenty pounds in weight.

So widely are they distributed that it is difficult to name lakes of special fishing importance.
