Bighorn Sheep

Bighorn Sheep

There are Bighorn Sheep in RMNP. There’s an area called Sheep Lakes and a special sheep-watching parking lot with updates on sheep-movement. However, we’ve never seen a sheep there. (Despite sheep-tailgating.) I do see them along Highway 70, especially around Empire. They blend almost perfectly with the rocks, so usually you must carefully watch for movement. This guy, however, was looking right in my passenger-side window as I entered town.
