Description

Mount Mye Sheep Centre is an interpretive centre located in the wilderness forests situated in the back country near the community of Faro. The interpretive centre is a hiking, sightseeing destination and educational centre for the observation and study of Fannin Sheep. Fannin Sheep roam the mountain ranges in behind the community of Faro. The sheep are best visible on the slopes during the spring, summer and fall seasons. In June the herd is best viewed from the Mye Mountain area. During the winter months the sheep explore the entire mountain range feeding on exposed mineral licks. Here you will find a cabin with wood stove and table. Outside the cabin is a viewing platform, another picnic table and a large gravel parking lot. There are more interpretive signs located on the outside viewing deck. Most of the signs consist of information detailing the feeding and migrating patterns of the Fannin Sheep. The interpretive signs on the outdoor deck also provide voice recordings. There is a unisex toilet. Turn onto the Blind Creek Road from Campbell Street in Faro. Stay left on the Blind Creek Road at the fork and you will end up at a cabin at the foot of Mt. Mye. The Mount Mye Hiking Trail begins at the end of Aex Road.
