Text screenshot from the article: "About halfway through the roughly 3-mile ascent, a young bighorn sheep popped out of the trees. Then, another followed. My friend and I oohed and aahed, until we remembered that babies usually mean a mom is nearby, none too pleased with the human disruption. She appeared a minute later, giving us the stink eye. We climbed up on the bank of the trail to give the little family space to pass and then continued upward. "
