Glacier Point – The Endurance of the Bighorn Sheep
The legend of Glacier Point House is a tale of resilience, patience, and the quiet strength of those who never give up.
Long ago, the valley was ruled by shifting glaciers—massive, unstoppable forces that carved the land itself. Most creatures fled, fearing the ice. But one remained: the Bighorn Sheep.
Where others saw impossible cliffs, the Sheep saw a path. Where others were trapped by the ice, the Sheep climbed higher. It did not rush, nor did it falter. Step by step, inch by inch, it climbed until it reached the peak overlooking the glaciers where no other had dared go.
When the ice finally receded, the Sheep stood victorious, demonstrating that the key to success is not in brute force or charged approaches, but in endurance and heart.
Those in Glacier Point House embody the Bighorn Sheep’s strength, resilience, and unwavering determination to overcome life’s greatest challenges. They thrive on their ability to conquer the steepest peaks through their balance, focus, and tireless commitment to achieving their goals.
Members of Glacier Point House are characterized by their steadiness and persistence.
