Did You Know?
The bighorn sheep in Bighorn Canyon NRA had disappeared in the 1800s. In the 1970s, Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks and Wyoming Game and Fish translocated sheep into nearby areas. Descendants of these sheep moved into the range along Bighorn Canyon and today the estimated population is 150 to 200.
