The WWF lists Pikas as...
The WWF lists Pikas as endangered. I do see quite a few of them in the Canadian Rockies and I photographed this Pika on the descent of Kerr Mt in Yoho Valley. They are normally very shy. This character was not, therefore, my photos of him are being used on several Pika related websites under the name "Yoho".

BobSmithNice shot.

Those little fellows are headed straight for extinction. Supposedly will be the first mammal species to be done in by global warming.

Thanks. You know, when I was first introduced to them, they were always quite shy...and I never assumed I would find posers like this guy...but after a few years in the Canadian Rockies...I found quite a few who wanted to entertain.....cheers

i am going to Colorado soon for some scrambling and i was wondering which mountains you would recommend for some fun and hard scrambling in central colorado, near the San Juan Mountains and/or Rocky Mountain National Park.
Thanks.

Sorry Wiktoria, but I never climb in Colorado except a bit of waterfall ice in the winter. My Rockies experience is all up north in Canada. Post this question in the Colorado forum and the hikers/scramblers will be all over it. The guy who seems to know the most about Colorado scrambles would be "Scott"....that is his handle on SP and he is a super nice and informed dude. Cheers and good luck!

""You cannot stay on the summit forever; you have to come down again. So why bother in the first place? Just this: What is above knows what is below, but what is below does not know what is above. One climbs, one sees. One descends, one sees no longer, but one has seen. There is an art of conducting oneself in the lower regions by the memory of what one saw higher up. When one can no longer see, one can at least still know.""   --Rene Daumal
