6/6/21- as we arise waaaaaay earlier than usual, we got out and on the road by 6am. We must really want to see some wildlife! Big horn sheep and Prairie Dogs are on the list. We booked it to Dillon Pass (as much as you can “book it” at 35 mph) and got a great view of 2 male big horn sheep on the grass near the road. We also saw a herd of females further up… and then there were the prairie dogs in “Roberts Prairie Dog Town” on Sage Creek Rim Road. We followed the dirt road for about 20 miles to see the west side of the park. Great views!
As the sun came up, it cast different shadows on the landscape…
Driving along Sage Creek Rim Road below, and OMG what a windy day! The wind actually knocked me off balance a couple times!

Since we got up early and it is a much cooler day, we did a few short hikes. It’s only 10:30 but we have been up for 5 hours! Below are the views on our hikes.
Below is what is called “the door” and we climbed up to see the magnificent view. The view from “the door” is the area we were walking in the above pictures.

Back to the RV for some lunch and a nap!
After an afternoon of rest and relaxation, we caught the sunset…the picture on the left is the western sky and at the same time, the picture on the right is the eastern sky.
