Desert Bighorn Sheep

Desert Bighorn Sheep

After an intense 2 hour climb up the side of a cliff as the sun was rising, I finally got them! A family of 5 desert bighorn sheep at Valley of Fire State Park (only one in this specific shot) on May 20th, 2018. It took so much patience to not only make it up the cliff safely but to also not scare them away. At the peak of my climb, I managed to get within 25 feet of the closest sheep before I was noticed. Luckily, instead of running away completely each time they saw me, the sheep only moved about 20 feet at a time as they continued to graze.
