Bighorn Sheep
Ovis canadensis
The traditional summer trek up the slopes of Mt. Washburn usually yields an encounter with the biggest resident of the mountain's upper slopes, the bighorn sheep. Usually one will find groups of females, subadults and kids in this area. The females don't grow fully curved horns, so they actually look more like goats. The sheep have little to fear up here, and are pretty tolerant of humans.
