313 Sierra Nevada bighorn sheep afield

Sierra Nevada bighorn sheep are a separate subspecies of bighorn sheep that have state and federal endangered species status. They were restored to the Mono Basin in 1986. In mid-June these sheep often use Lundy Canyon and it may be possible to spot them from the trail. Lacey will lead the group there and discuss the history and challenges of restoration efforts for these sheep. Bring snacks, water, and sunscreen.
