Bighorn sheep licking tires

We decided to ride out to Miette Hot Springs and hike Sulphur Skyline. It was a gorgeous morning for the drive there but of course it clouded up just as we set out for our hike to Sulphur Skyline. We saw a bighorn sheep near the employee housing. Our snowcoach driver the day before told us how the bighorn sheep don't get enough minerals in their diet and often lick tires and wheel wells on cars to get the minerals they need. And sure enough, we saw the bighorn sheep walk over, kneel down, and stick his head under the car to lick the wheel.
