Behind the Lens: Quiet Mornings With Colorado’s Bighorn Sheep

There’s a certain kind of morning in the Rockies that doesn’t make the news, doesn’t show up on trail maps, and doesn’t belong to anyone except the wildlife that wakes before the sun.
The 2026 Rocky Mountain Bighorn Sheep Calendar was born in those hours — the cold, the stillness, the slow breath of the high country.
Every image in this calendar comes from real time spent in the field. No staged moments. No shortcuts. Just patience, respect, and the quiet privilege of witnessing Colorado’s state mammal in its own world.
This year’s calendar is more than a collection of photos. It’s a story of Colorado’s wild heart — a year of ridgelines, winter storms, spring lambs, and the timeless rhythm of the mountains.
If you’re looking for a meaningful Colorado gift, or simply want a daily reminder of the place we call home, this calendar ships fast, ships domestic, and supports local Colorado work.
Thank you for being part of this journey.
