Desert Bighorn Council Meeting 2027

Save the Date: April 20-23, 2027

Grand Junction, Colorado

The 59th meeting of the Desert Bighorn Council will be hosted by Colorado Parks and Wildlife and hosted on the beautiful western slope of Colorado in Grand Junction. Grand Junction is centered between the Rocky Mountains and the Utah red rock desert and boasts a variety of wildlife populations including desert bighorn sheep. Spring in Grand Junction is mild and cool, offering comfortable temperatures for exploring the nearby canyons and mountains. The meeting will include opportunities to see desert sheep including a field trip likely to feature the Colorado National Monument and the Dominguez Canyons.

 
Many details are still being finalized, but the meeting will be on April 20 - 23, 2027 at the Grand Junction Convention Center. Lodging blocks will be available when registration opens in October of this year for the hotels near the Convention Center and the lovely downtown Grand Junction. We look forward to seeing you all there!
