After Chris utters the reminder, he pans his camera to the trail in front of him. At first, we only see the empty trail. Then, we notice a slight movement. Within seconds, it is evident that Chris is following the hiking rule and standing aside to make way for an uphill traveler.

Standing on the trail’s edge, Chris witnesses the passing of a massive Bighorn Sheep. The animal walks calmly up the trail like he’s done this a million times. The majestic ram walks with his head held high. He owns this mountain, and he knows it. He barely gives Chris a side-eyed glance as he continues up the trail.

The moment was magical. When Chris posted it on TikTok, most commentators were excited about this experience. However, the neatest thing in the comment section is Chris’s responses. He conveys the wonder and excitement of an eight-year-old child, which is so pure.

Chris’s page has a fantastic array of videos. Among the wildlife and beautiful scenery, there is also a bit of philosophy that explains so much about life. Thank you for this brilliant and enlightening outlook on life.
