Bighorn Sheep at Yellowstone

Bighorn sheep can be found navigating the rugged, snow-dusted terrain of Yellowstone National Park, whose vast volcanic plateau across Wyoming and neighbouring parts of Montana and Idaho provides a dramatic backdrop for wildlife photography. February offers a particularly rewarding window, as travellers on the Winter Wildlife of Yellowstone holiday make their way through this geothermally rich landscape in search of these sure-footed animals. The combination of steep, rocky ground and steaming thermal features creates striking contrasts for images. Patience and a keen eye for movement along the slopes will serve photographers well when working in this iconic setting.
