Читать книгу Hike the Parks: Rocky Mountain National Park - Brendan Leonard - Страница 27

It’s certainly not guaranteed that you’ll see a bighorn sheep on your visit to Rocky Mountain National Park, but your best shot is visiting Sheep Lakes (not just a clever nickname) in Horseshoe Park, 1.8 miles (2.9 km) west of the Fall River Entrance Station on US Highway 34. Generally, if groups of sheep are in the area, they’ll appear near Sheep Lakes between 9:00 am and 3:00 pm as they make their way down from the Mummy Range to graze and then head back when they’re done. As always with wildlife, stay at least 75 feet (23 m) from sheep.
