Bighorn Sheep Day

Picture
I was a day early for the 18th Annual Bighorn Sheep Day. My youngest granddaughter and I were enjoying the afternoon, and decided at the last minute to drive through the Garden of the Gods. We were stopped by traffic when my granddaughter pointed and exclaimed, "Wow!"
A park ranger waved us along, trying to keep traffic moving. Amazingly, we found a parking space. Neither of us was dressed for hiking, but we managed to clamber down an icy trail.
A herd of bighorn sheep tolerated adoring crowds, lounging and grazing just off the main road through the park. One large ram seemed to pose for photos.
​This has become an annual event for my family. We manage to see the sheep almost every year.
The sign says: "KEEP OUT! Please observe from the trail." I imagine summer visitors straining to see the sheep. I have only seen them in the winter or spring.
