The Wind River Mountain Range in Wyoming is outside of Yellowstone National Park but is a part of the Greater Yellowstone ecosystem. At the base of the range's eastern slope is the National Bighorn Sheep Interpretive Center. At the Center, there is information on the four subspecies of bighorn sheep native to North America. This is a good place to explore the meaning of "subspecies", to examine taxonomy/classification in general and to learn about one of many types of mammals to be experienced in Trip 1.
