I see them pretty much every time I head out towards Entiat just past the roundabout by the RV dealer. I bet if you were to drive between Entiat and Wenatchee a few times you will see them. Sometimes they are right down almost on the road. Never gets old.

Have taken pictures of sheep on 97 just north of the Chelan falls turnoff above Beebe Bridge. Just past  < 1/2 mile the Beebe bridge natural park ( or what ever the dayum name is ) that park put in by the tree huggers, Can sometimes catch them on the RR tracks even <100 ft from the road.

Can't help you with Chelan area but last weekend we saw around 30 sheep (different groups) in the Yakima canyon.  Saw 1 ram.  He was almost a full curl.  Got some good pics of him.  If I remember tonite I'll upload 'em.

Do you know where the sheep feeding station outside of Natches is?
Pretty easy to find.

Might want to stop there on your way to/from.

I drive 97A several times a day. Like others have said, between Wenatchee and Entiat, look at the area across from the Tree Top plant & between North bound mile markers 208----210. Have Fun :)

But "where" is the question...

" 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

You could see sheep just driving through the canyon between Ellensburg and Yakima. It wouldn't be as far as going to Naches.

Well how many at the feeding area outside of Naches? Probably not many since there's no snow.  :dunno:

Not sure, haven't been that way in awhile,  but with how green it is i imagine they have moved up.   I can are clemans from my house just too far to see animals.  In the last two weeks the sheep have really dispersed from the canyon as well
