Sheep Canyon — Thursday, Jun. 18, 2020

South Cascades > Mount St. Helens
Road to Sheep Canyon TH

 We traveled the road to the Sheep Canyon TH by bike and then hiked the short trail to Sheep Canyon creek from there.  The road that leads to the Sheep Canyon trailhead has been washed out for years. Once we pushed our bikes through the washout, and carried them over Cold Springs creek we were on our way. The decommissioned road has some wider sections, while other sections are fairly overgrown. There are several gullies to navigate making for a good workout. We arrived at the old trailhead parking lot which is fairly overgrown, where we left our bikes to make the short hike to the bridge at Sheep Canyon. The trail is in good shape especially considering you can't drive to the TH. There is a bit of blowdown, and a section that is overgrown, but nothing too difficult to navigate.  We saw no one all day on the Sheep Canyon trail OR the decommissioned road.
