THE BIG HORNS OF BIG SKY

BIG HORN SHEEP CROSS THE ROAD

In addition to the bison, elk, moose, bear and deer you are apt to see in and around Yellowstone you will also find Big Horn Sheep in the Yellowstone area.  There are places inside the National Park where you have a chance of seeing them.

Highway 191 that goes from West Yellowstone to Bozeman will take you thru Big Sky.  Just outside of Big Sky you will see a sign that indicates that Big Horn Sheep may be in the area.

Quite often they either cross the road or they come down to lick the minerals off of the highway surface.

Just be careful when you are traveling that road - the Big Horns do not know the "rules of the road".  I think they feel like they were first and we are the intruders.
