The Sheep Gulch Trail has two distinctive halves. The lower half of the trail is through the forest while the upper half is through an alpine meadow. These two sections of trail are connected via a steep boulder field. If you need a break, there are great views of Missouri Gulch to the south through the clearing caused by the rock field.

The Sheep Gulch Trail has two distinctive halves. The lower half of the trail is through the forest while the upper half is through an alpine meadow. These two sections of trail are connected via a steep boulder field.

Not much of the Sheep Gulch Trail is runnable going uphill; its grades are just too steep. It is runnable going downhill, though. This is especially true for the upper, alpine section.
