Flaming Gorge Hiking

Sheep Creek is supposed to be a "geological loop." 5 miles in the road is closed, apparently they are "blasting out the mountain" and widening the road. So we parked the truck and went for a walk. The water is still high and the walk was just beautiful.





After searching the mountain sides the entire time, I finally spotted Big Horn Sheep. You're supposed to see them in Sheep Creek right? Those buggers are hard to spot!!! They were quite a ways up the mountain side, but I still got some pictures.

A baby big horn.
Our second hike of the week was the Bear Canyon Trail. The sign says 1 1/2 miles, it's actually 2 miles each way. Oreo had a blast!! We let her off leash. She would run way ahead, then run back to us, then run ahead and back again. Guess she went closer to 4-5 miles each way. The views at the end were great. Again, Steve took me hiking and we got caught in rain. At least this wasn't a "Hawaiian tropical downpour!"
