## About Sheep Mountain Springs

Sheep Mountain Springs is a tepid spring in Big Horn County, Wyoming, nine miles from Greybull. Barely warmer than the air on a summer afternoon. There is no land owner, land unit, or public access entry on file, so who controls the ground is an open question. It sits roughly a fifth of a mile past the end of the road, on foot from there.

Low, dry Bighorn Basin ground. Ten inches of rain a year and not much snow, with mild mean temperatures by the standards of this state. The road is unnamed on file. You walk a couple hundred yards. Nothing about the terrain, the pool, or the flow is recorded, and the chemistry was never sampled as far as the record shows.

Winter shows up as the best season on file, and with so little snow that may hold. Five Springs Falls Campground, sixteen miles distant, is the nearest camping listed. Ownership and permission are unknown; check before walking in. No temperature survey date is given, so take the figure as approximate.
