Where and How to Observe Bighorn Sheep

Come participate in the Bighorn Sheep Monitoring Program in SW CO!

This will be a deep dive for folks interested in planning their bighorn or stray domestic observation trip in the San Juans. All are welcome and encouraged to join. We will be diving right into useful tools, tips, and critical locations for observing, so if you’re new the project please take a few minutes to read the background here www.mountainstudies.org/bighorn. We will be referencing this webpage to access the map, so we encourage participants to be at a computer with internet.
