Fake Sheep or Real Sheep? - Kevin Colburn

Jun 1, 2001

John Gangemi and I had a beautiful day amidst the blue water, black rock, and blue sky of the Sheep River. We saw a bighorn ram regally standing on top of a cliff over the river, and wondered for a while if it was a Sheep River statue. But then it turned its head to watch us pass. John had a good line through Triple Falls, I walked it. The little waterfall on the run was super fun and scenic. I've heard that since this trip Triple Falls has changed and gotten weird or harder, so be sure to scout that one well.
