One of the things I've enjoyed most about the States has been the number of animals we have come across every day. In the next blogs are my top five animal encounters of the mountainous parks...
Coming in at number five: marmots.
These cute animals, a bit bigger than my old pet rabbit, live in the rocks, coming out to chase each other, sunbathe and eat. They are very curious so if you sit really still, they will come closer to see what you are up to. Just watching these sociable animals play is enough to make me smile.
