SUMMER IN TAOS LAND OF ENCHANTMENT
BIGHORN SHEEP The Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep is the perfect regional emblem. They are powerful; hard to detect but unforgettable when seen — proud, tough, and elusive. Reintroduced to the Rio Grande Gorge a few years ago, they are often spotted from the Taos Gorge Bridge, along trails in the Rio Grande National Monument, and also atop Kachina and Wheeler peaks.
