South Fork Ponds Trail #095

You can approach this trail either from the north, or from the south, though you'll always access this one from the Sherd Lake Loop Trail #046. This description meets with the southern end of the trail, and heads north. From the Sherd Lake Loop Trail #046 stay right at the intersection (head north). The first half mile you pass through alpine fields until you re-enter the forest. Shortly you enter a section of forest mixed with talus and scree. Pass an intermittent lake and then power uphill until you reach Sherd Lake. Reconnect with the Sherd Lake Loop Trail #046 to return to the northern parking lot, or retrace your steps to reach your starting point.
