June 18th, 2008
The National Bighorn Sheep Interpretive Center in Dubois, Wyoming presents visitors with a unique opportunity to learn about these magnificent animals. There is a large herd of Rocky Mountain Bighorn Sheep that live on Whiskey Mountain near Dubois, so this is the ideal setting for the Interpretive Center. Fascinating exhibits detail a huge variety of information about Bighorn Sheep. You’ll learn about their biology, their predators, and their habitat. Dominance battles and lambing cliffs are some of the other interesting aspects of the Bighorn Sheep’s life that are detailed at the Center. You’ll also learn about the Sheep Eater Indians of the Wind River Range. In addition to touring the National Bighorn Sheep Interpretive Center, you can schedule a viewing tour during the winter months, from November through March. It is possible to view and photograph the Whiskey Mountain herd during the tour, in large part because snowy weather drives them down to lower elevations within viewing range.
