Thanks for the pictures Jen. I am envious of your bighorn sighting. I have only been lucky enough to see a couple in all my years visiting,and they were ewes. What a sight that must of been to see a hillside full grazing.

Great report, Jen! And...

After leaving the park, I went on a bit of a sight-seeing drive. I found the perfect little ranch a few years ago - nestled among tall pines along the southern border of the park. Some of the buildings (and nearby residences) have great views - and I'd sort of love one of those cabins someday.

...I think I might know where this is!

And, might I say, "Way to GO!" on this:

Thanks for taking us along Jen. I was especially interested in your Bowen/Baker pictures since I'll be starting a hike from there. The white bighorns were interesting too. Still don't have a Calypso Orchid on my list.
