Moose Calf Checks In
By Spring Creek Ranch on January 18, 2010

A Highlight of Our Winter Wildlife
By Spring Creek Ranch on December 19, 2009
Rocky Mountain Bighorn Sheep spend summers at relatively high elevations and require some effort for us to find them during warmer months. Fortunately, this is not the case during Winter as we are able to observe bighorns consistently (usually very close.) These agile ungulates are spectacular to watch navigate steep cliffs and seem most... Read More.
