hemenway park印象

The Desert Big Horn sheep were eating the grass on the playing field in the park. They were all males. They decided to walk up the hill and I sat very still. They walked right by the cars to the upper area. I am telling you, there were at least 30 sheep of all ages. I never saw one before. It is also free, since they are wild and can go where ever they like.

what an awesome area to get up close and personal with a herd of big horn sheep...Fantastic photo opportunities and seeing the behavior of the sheep was very educational as well...

Nice park overlooking Lake Mead. My husband and I drove out to the park the other morning around 10:30; parked just off the street and there were nearly 40 Bighorn sheep just nibbling on the grass or laying on the grass not more than 15 feet away! We just sat there in the car and watched them and enjoyed their antics!

We went on a tour of Hoover Dam. On the way back to Las Vegas, our tour guide Mark stopped here so we could observe the herd of big-horned sheep. My wife was able to get very close to them.

We went 1/27/2015 and no rams were to be found. The sign at the park states that the rams stay up in the mountains until the vegetation is scorched. The mountain there are real rocky so I am assuming in the late spring and summer the vegetation is no more on the mountain so they come down to the park which is probably watered. However, pretty little park and great view of Lake Mead. Plus, the big homes in the neighborhood surrounding the park are also something to drive around and see.

We found this place through Trip Advisor & our tour guides at Flightlinez. It was so neat to see the sheep in this setting. You can see that the land the park is on, has been theirs for a long time & I'm so glad the park has allowed them to stay. It takes a couple of minutes. Not far off the road on the way to the Hoover Dam.

We've stayed at the hotel across the street for many years and it's been hit and miss to see the big horn sheep, but the park is so close to the freeway it's worth a quick check to see if they are there. Unfortunately they have become so comfortable with humans that it takes away from the whole experience...but still cool to see them up close.

We were dropped off at this park at the end of a very eventful day with Desert Adventures, kayaking twelve miles down Black Canyon from the Hoover Dam to Willow Beach.The trailer carrying the kayaks burst a tire and the fellow driving our van had to go back to help, so we were deposited in this park for over an hour in mid August. It was wonderful until the mosquitoes started coming out, as evening approached. So, if you are here on a summer evening, do bring mosquito spray.There is a nice playground for children, a covered gazebo with picnic tables and one bench out in the field.If you are taking pictures, the bench is the best place to be sitting when you aim your camera.I found not only the flock of bighorn sheep to be amazing, but also the views of Lake Mead. The shots I got looked like a gorgeous picture postcard, with the grazing sheep in the foreground and the gorgeous aquamarine Lake Mead in the background.

We came here based on a recommendation from our campground host. We arrived in the early evening and there were sheep everywhere! Couldn't believe we could just have a picnic with big horn sheep around. Really cool!

t he big-horn sheep are stupendous and there are plenty of tables and shaded areas. Lots of information posted.
