Bighorn Sheep to California Condors - WY to AZ

Bighorn Ram overlooks his domain


We traveled east into Wyoming to Flaming Gorge, then south through eastern Utah, then back west to the North Rim of the Grand Canyon to find California Condors.  Here are some of the treasures of God's creation that we found.
