Sheep Lake to Sourdough Gap — Monday, Jul. 14, 2025

STUNNING views from every direction, the entire way up (and back down!) the mountain.

We got to the trailhead on this slightly cool (65-72°) Monday right around 945am and the lot was just barely starting to fill up, but not full until later in the day.

It was warm enough for us to wade and my 11 year old to Cold Plunge, so we did on the way up!

There were TONS of glorious wildflowers blooming. No animal sightings, as it was a little late in the day, but we definitely saw some fresh ish coyote scat with an entire raccoon paw in it! Fun identification with the kids ;)

The views down are different than the views at the top. Look up, look around, and don't skip this beautiful, not-too-long hike!
