Sights on Cycles: Ram Ruts + Headbutts

It’s ram rut season! November is the time of year when Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep are in “rut”. Like in elk and deer, the term rut refers to the breeding season when males compete to secure access to herds of females. They can smack heads at up to 40 mph, making crackling booms echo throughout the canyon. No wonder they’re called rams! We will be bicycling into Waterton Canyon. A naturalist from the Conservancy will lead the group on a bike ride to search for the sheep. When we find the herd, we’ll hop off our bikes and spectate the sheep drama from a safe distance. Need a ride into the canyon? We are partnering with Cycling Without Age Littleton to make this adventure more accessible. CWAL will bring two trishaws to this program with space for up to 4 non-cycling passengers. These spaces are for anyone who cannot currently ride a bicycle but can sit in a trishaw. learn more and register
