For months I've seen pictures that people have taken of bighorn sheep in Waterton Canyon. The canyon is in south Denver but is quite difficult to find on a map. It is actually the start of the Colorado Trail and is also called Platte Canyon. Last Saturday Andy and I were near Golden for a running race so we took the opportunity to explore Waterton. Wow! We knew it was a dirt road but didn't realize that cars aren't allowed on it so Andy strapped on a backpack with my camera equipment and we started walking. After about 2 miles, just as I was getting tired, we ran into a heard of sheep! How exciting. They are somewhat tame but still quite skittish. Here are some of my favorite pictures from the day.
