But it’s a long drive from the Tri for such a short hike. Sheep Lake is also a lovely hike, and is also short. This trip combines them in a single day. Expect fall colors. If we have time and energy, we’ll continue another mile past Sheep Lake to Sourdough Gap, 650 feet above Sheep Lake.\nPhoto credit https://www.wta.org/go-hiking/trip-reports/trip_report.2023-10-08.1343551240\n\n\nApproximate Mileage\n7.5\n\n\nElevation Gain\n1200 ft\n\n\nDeparture Time\n7:00 AM\n\n\nSign up by\nOctober 8, 2026\n\n\n\nEach participant is responsible for their own safety and being prepared. PLANNING ( https://www.nps.gov/orgs/1207/plan-like-a-park-ranger.htm ) and preparation start with the 10 ESSENTIALS ( #ten-essentials-popup ) and staying up-to-date on road and trail conditions, permit requirements, party size limits, snowpack, wildfires, and weather.  Visit the ACTIVITY CLASSIFICATION PAGE ( #activity-classification-popup )  for detailed information on difficulty rating for I-MAC trip so you can sign up for activities that best match your fitness and comfort levels.\nVisit TRIP COSTS & PASSES ( #trip-costs-passes-popup ) for detailed information about trip costs.\nTo help protect and care for these special places that we enjoy exploring, I-MAC members always practice LEAVE NO TRACE ( https://lnt.org/ ) and follow the 7 PRINCIPLES OF LEAVE NO TRACE ( https://lnt.org/why/7-principles/ ).
