American Pika posing on a boulder in its talus field
Do not let any other creature, no matter now mighty and majestic in appearance they may be, tell you otherwise. Pika are the true kings of the mountain.

It is heartening to watch pika sit out on their "porch" in the evenings, seeming to wind down at the end of a hard day's work simply savoring the beauty of their surroundings as the sun bids them a warming farewell.

Pika Town sits at ~7000 feet on the flanks of Mount Rainier. Its residents have about 4 snow free months a year to collect and store food for a winter spent in rocky homes under deep snow. American pikas do not hibernate. So the harvest is serious business. #americanpika #notrodents #mountrainier

An American pika bringing home the harvest. Pikas don't hibernate. This pika, living on the flanks of Mount Rainier, will spend about 8 months in rocky warrens deep under the snow - living off these supplies while waiting for the snow to melt and the sun to return. #pika #americanpika
