Each of the past two summers (2007-2008), I have spent time backpacking in the Absoraka range South of Meeteetsee, WY in the search for Bighorn Sheep. This country is about as rugged as anyplace in the lower 48. Very few humans enter the wilderness area except during hunting seasons. The trails are hard to follow and often peter out entirely, only to reappear a mile further up the drainage. Extremely rugged and steep, much of the high country is well over 11,000' above sea level and some peaks climb over 12,000'. The air is very thin. What beautiful country to photograph!
