Drive the road between chelan and Wenatchee on the west side of the river. Can't miss them south of Entiat (sp). Good luck

I've seen them right along the highway right at Swakane Canyon. That has always been in late October and November,  so I don't know if they will be there in April. They may be higher especially if there's no snow.

Pain is temporary, achieving the goal is worth it.

I didn't say it would be easy, I said it would be worth it.

Same place.

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

Just upriver from the Chelan Falls Fish Hatchery would be the first place to see 5 Rams or a bunch of ewes. Next place is between Walmart and the airport they are always in either of these areas.

Glass the Butte, should be able to see lots of them.

There is a turnout near the dam. Park there head strait uphill. It is a grunt getting in there, but there are sheep (At least in the fall). Haven't been there in the spring
