Boulder City has grown up around Hemenway Valley Park, which was once a little bit removed from houses and people. The park itself is pretty ordinary, with well-used picnic areas, a tennis court and a playground. The exceptional thing about the park is the herd of Big Horn Sheep that hangs out there. The herd is good-sized, and the sheep ignore the people who stop to stare at them. You'll definitely want to take pictures. This is probably the closest you'll come to a Big Horn, who typically live in remote areas. Remember that while these sheep may seem tranquil, they are wild animals. Respect them and keep a safe distance away.

- Parks: "Look for the gas station and convenience store at the corner of Highway 93 and Ville Drive, just outside of Boulder City heading toward Hoover Dam, to see where to turn for the park."
- Best for Parks Because: Visiting Hemenway Park offers the rare opportunity to see a herd of Big Horn sheep up close.
