Sheep Lake to Sourdough Gap — Sunday, Jul. 6, 2025

Stunning trail! Felt easier than I expected it to, it’s a gentle slope that is relatively flat the first mile and a half away from the parking lot then slightly increases towards sheep lake, and then steeper towards sourdough gap. Highlights: saw 2 marmots on the scree field behind sour dough gap where the PCT continues through!! Very cute :) gorgeous wild flowers the whole way, and a quieter trail till about 11 am. We got there at 8:15am and the parking lot had space (Sunday after July 4th). By the time we left at 1 ish (we meandered quite a bit at the top and around the lake) the parking lot was packed.
