January in Yellowstone belongs to the bighorn sheep. These remarkable animals descend from the high ridges to graze open slopes near Gardiner and the northern canyons. Frost collects on their thick coats as they navigate steep, snow-covered cliffs with calm precision. In the coldest months, survival and balance become one. For photographers, this is a rare opportunity to capture raw resilience against a backdrop of frozen wilderness. In this edition of Wild Yellowstone, we’ll explore how bighorn sheep adapt to harsh winter conditions, where to find them in the park, and how to create powerful, storytelling images that highlight their strength and solitude.
