Rocky Mountain Bighorn Sheep 8-19


These Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep were seen 
from Trail Ridge Road in RMNP several weeks ago. 
Hunted to near extinction by the 1950's the herd 
now numbers over 350.Their primary home is in the 
Mummy Range in the northern part of the park.

The rams and the ewes hang out separately. Last year
I saw a herd of ewes on top of Little Chapin.
