Re: How many sheep -- Depends on your count site; some people see zero, others see upwards of 40.

Oh great, I've actually been there and saw two bighorn sheep near the "oasis" that is not too far from the visitor center.
It was super hot there, actually (42°C or so?). Probably my most extreme heat exposure ever.

Thanks! I hope they don’t do this in the summer. Pretty hot there.
The best time is the summer; the hotter the better. These sheep can go for weeks without water when it's cool. When it's hot, they need to come to water every 3 days or so. So, when it's hot, we set up shop near the watering holes and wait.

Very interesting and makes sense. I guess the heat is not too bad if you don’t have to move a lot. Is there a lot of action at night? I would probably set up some trail cameras.
Where is this if I may ask? And how many sheep do you get to see? I wouldn’t mind doing that and take my camera.
