Sheep Gap (No Audio)

Description
In this short clip, a band of ewes and lambs race across the road to reach high ground. Sheep are particularly sensitive to traffic as they move from lambing grounds (generally north of the road) to steeper protective terrain (generally south of the road). Maintaining gaps in traffic ("sheep gaps") preserves these seasonal migration patterns, without which fewer sheep would be visible for visitor enjoyment. Sheep gaps benefit wildlife and Denali visitors alike!
