Cat and I were about halfway through our hike in Cohab Canyon in Capitol Reef National Park in Utah when we found some shade under the ledge of a cliff and decided to take a break. We dug out our energy bars and took a seat, guzzling water and reveling in thecool rock-shade that protected us from the relentless sun. After a few minutes of sitting quietly, we were rewarded with an entire herd of desert big horn sheep peering over the lip of the canyon on the cliffs opposite us. They were clearly grazing on the sparse greenery, and showed just as much curiosity in us as we had regarding them. We watched them deftly jump along the cliff edge, and our break extended far longer than our usual rest period.
