One of the fun roads to drive in RMNP is Old Fall River Road. It’s one way, up hill only, with many switchbacks and very narrow spots. Driving it one morning to hike to Chiquita Peak, we pass this regal young Bighorn Sheep.
He looks kinda mangy to me! lol So how regal is that? Granted he has the stance of being regal. Hmmmmm didn't I see a famous person recently with a stance like that? :D
Exciting! Saw one a couple of years ago in Colorado in an area they generally aren't found but are gradually moving towards due to man's encroachment. Just grand!
We didn't see a sheep either. I have pictures from a June trip to Bnaff of a big horn sheep. He looks molty, too. You need to go to Bnaff, Val. You would love it there.
How cool is that? When we were in the park we looked and looked for one of these and never found one - I am jealous! Fabulous image!!

ReplyDeleteIona - LOL. He was in the process of shedding his winter coat, but I thought his pose was kind of regal... :-)
