Step 1
Understand the social structure of Dall sheep. The rams and ewes only associate during the mating season, which begins at the end of November and ends in early December. During this time, rams may often clash horns with one another as a way to establish order in the herd.
-
Step 2
Decide if you want to see new lambs. The lambs are born between late May to early June in rugged cliffs along the Dall sheep's range. As soon as the lamb is strong enough to travel, the ewe brings him into the meadows.

Step 3
Drive the Alaska Highway to Mucho Lake Provincial Park. Dall sheep frequent this park, and you can often see them from one of the marked scenic viewpoints along the highway. For extended viewing, stay at one of the park's two campgrounds.
-
Step 4
Visit Sheep Mountain in Kluane National Park and Reserve, also on the Alaska Highway. Wildlife-viewing is a popular activity at this park, and the Sheep Mountain Visitor Centre is open each day from mid-May through mid-September to provide information about the wildlife and the park as a whole.

Step 5
Travel to Faro, Yukon Territory, Canada to see Fannin's sheep, which are closely related to Dall sheep and may just be a variation of the Dall. Around Faro, you can find a number of interpretive wildlife viewing platforms. At the Sheep Viewing Station, you can relax in a wood stove-heated cabin as you view the sheep. Call (867) 994-2728 year-round to find out more about Faro's wildlife.
