23rd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest The American Experience
Bighorn Sheep Staredown

My husband and I took our cameras to Zion and Valley of Fire, desperate to see a bighorn sheep. We looked for hours and never saw one. Finally, we gave up and headed back to Vegas. Out of nowhere, a bighorn sheep appeared on the side of the road. It was magical!
