Description
The Rio Grande del Norte National Monument has a thriving population of Rocky Mountain Bighorn Sheep. The New Mexico Game and Fish and the Native Americans of Taos Pueblo introduced approximately 50 in 2006 and 2007 into the Rio Grande Gorge west of Taos. After 10 years their numbers quickly increased to around 300. I spotted this lone ram as I hiked along the Rio Grande north of Pilar on a beautiful Autumn day.
