A natural
arroyo is another of the many nature-oriented attractions to the community
of Aliante. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the arroyo, which is set
against a mountain backdrop of The Sheep Mountain Range.
This arroyo is part of the 428 acres, approximately 22 percent of the total acreage, that has been set aside for recreational and public uses. The Sheep Mountain Range is part of the Desert National Wildlife Range. It is the highest of the six mountain ranges, the most scenic, and supports the greatest diversity of wildlife and vegetation. The Sheep Mountain Range is an excellent bighorn habitat. Desert bighorn often visit this area during the cooler part of the year from late fall to early spring. During the hot months they move north and closer to perennial springs. |
