Bighorn Sheep Interpretive Center
Few mammals can match the Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep for sure-footedness. Powerful and nimble, even at 250 to 300 pounds, they tread crags and rocky trails like no other creatures on earth. That beauty has been captured graphically and elegantly in Dubois, Wyoming’s National Bighorn Sheep Interpretive Center.
Stunning, full-size bighorns set among their natural flora and geology lend to this center a breathtaking realism. Photos and hands-on exhibits draw visitors into the majestic range and habits of these magnificent animals.
Dubois hosts this interpretive center for good reason: nearby Whiskey Mountain is home to the largest wintering herd of Rocky Mountain Bighorn Sheep in North America. During winter, the center offers fully guided tours there.
The center, located right on the main street of Dubois (which just happens to be Wyoming Highway 287/26), is open daily from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. Admission fees are $2 for adults, 75 cents for children, and $5 for families.
For more information, call toll free 1-888-209-2795 or go on-line at www.bighorn.org, or e-mail the center at info@bighorn.org. — Mike Calabrese
