Beautiful to look at. --from afar WE ALL ENJOY THE BIGHORN SHEEP HERD IN EAST VAIL But to co-exist, we need to leave them alone To keep yourself and the bighorn sheep safe, please: Don't stop on the side of the road in your car to watch them or take pictures. Stopping will create a serious hazard for both the sheep and you. Don't approach the sheep. Even standing still at a 1/4 mile distance will raise the sheep's heart rate and burn excessive calories needed for their survival. Choose an alternate route if you come across the sheep while cycling or hiking. Did you know it's against the law to feed wildlife? This will also lead to severe digestive problems and interfere with their natural migration patterns. Approved viewing area - south side of -70 at the East Vail Interchange parking lot. This location gives you an appropriate distance and will allow for safe viewing. Help us keep the sheep safe - If you see the sheep too close to the road, please call 970.479.2201. COLOR ATL.
