An observable population can be found along Dominguez Canyon where it joins the Gunnison River.  River floaters often see the animals on the cliff ledges and steep hillsides. A hike along the north rim of Dominguez Canyon is a good prospect.  River access is on the Bridgeport Road (unmarked), a gravel route to the west, one mile north of the Mesa Delta County line on US Hwy 50.   Hiking access is through Cactus Park. From the junction of Hwy 50 and Hwy 141 at the town of Whitewater, go southwest on Hwy 141 about 9 miles (called Ninemile Hill) and turn left at the Cactus Park sign.  Travel southeast on the dirt road about 6 miles, following signs to the Dominguez Canyon Trailhead.  Occasionally travelers near the bottom of Ninemile Hill see bighorn sheep from the highway.
