Desert Bighorn [Explore]
No, that's not the name of the rock formation here near Moab.
A herd of desert bighorn sheep in Utah, this group is hanging out below Dead Horse State Park along the Potash Road in the Shafer Basin.
On a chilly, overcast morning this herd was gathering on the red rocks, seeking some warmth, no doubt. Climbing from the road level up along the strata, they stopped when we did, probably to be photographed, which I was happy to oblige. They were as interested in observing us as we were in watching them. Eventually, they got bored, however, and after posing and laying on the rocks for a few minutes, the proceeded on their way up the rocks as we drove deeper into the canyon.
Not a bad start to a day exploring the White Rim Road in Canyonlands National Park.
Congrats on Explore!
