Trail Overview

Steep ascent through dense forest to the top of Sheep Mountain. Tight switchbacks and mild off-camber keeps this trail engaging, although not particularly difficult in general conditions. 270 degree view from the top features several of the peaks and valleys in the area. This in-and-out trail makes a nice side-trip from Lead King Basin, or stand-alone trip from Marble.

Difficulty

Trail is passable by a stock high-clearance 4x4 with careful tire placement across deep ruts. Loose rock and mild off-camber in areas. Can be impassible when wet.

Downed logs cut ( jeep clearance was fine) and it was open to the top. Which was amazing. Incredible views!
