A trip to the mainland to the East Kootenays gave me the opportunity to see wildlife we don’t have on Vancouver Island.
This Bighorn sheep was right beside the road into our campsite!
I found out that nearly all of British Columbia's Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep reside in the East Kootenay region, home to an estimated 1,500 to 2,000 sheep.
I only saw one!
