I decided to take a short walk around the Sheepeater Cliffs area one day in the Summer of 1999 and found the cliffs mesmerizing. Spectacular columns of basalt have, for thousands of years, split off from the cliff face and tumbled down the slope below the cliff.

They were given the name Sheepeater Cliffs because evidence of Sheepeater Indians was found there. The Sheepeaters were Shoshones who used bighorn sheep as a staple in their diet.
