Sheep Lake to Sourdough Gap — Wednesday, Jul. 30, 1997

Mount Rainier Area > Chinook Pass - Hwy 410

From hwy 410 through Sheep Lake, Sourdough Gap to Bear Gap. The trail was Snow free and believe it or not no one was at Sheep lake we did not see anyone all day. Trail was in fine condition no problems of any kind. We scrambled up two peaks along the route before Bear Gap excellent views of Rainier, Crystal Mountain and Norse Peak. We did notice there appeared to be considerable snow cover on the Naches Peak loop south of the highway
