Now the summer is well on its way. It is‘ vacation
time — a time for exploring new horizons. Whether
aitting in your yard, riding a bike, hiking: the high roads, ;
or even just touring in your car, there. are: many sights
and ‘sounds all‘around to capture your attention. The
hillsides and roadsides are ablaze with colorful flowore, -
and teeming with wildlife, Perhaps “the mogt thrilling. J
sight you may see on your travels is a’herd:of Bighorn{}]’
Sheep.

‘They ean almost always be seen above the highway
‘on the rocks above Radium Hot Springs to the east, and
around Vaseaux Lake in the Okanagan to the west. The
(sheep seen in the Rockjes, particularly near Radium are
the Rocky Mountain Bighorn, while those'seen around
the Okanagan are of the California Bighorn variety. The
‘two are very similar in appearance. ‘'The® California
‘Bighorn is slightly smaller than the: Rocky, Mountain
‘Bighorn, and the ram's horns have a tendency to curl
routwards,
