Finally at about 12:20pm, I had returned to the trailhead and our parked car. However, Julie was nowhere to be seen despite having been ahead of me (at least fom what I could tell during my return hike).
When Julie finally got back to the trailhead at 12:25pm, she told me that she saw a ram! And she made sure to let me know that I should have taken the main trail back instead of the alternate one. In any case, she showed me the iPhone photo and sure enough, she saw one…
