    Tips

    October 17, 2025

    The Sheep River Trail follows an old mining road into quiet foothills country, with steady elevation and wide-open views. You’ll cross creeks, pass through forest, and hit a few washed-out sections that keep things interesting. It’s a peaceful out-and-back with good river access, wildlife sightings, and a clear view of Gibraltar Mountain as you head west. The trail ends at a private property boundary, so while there’s no summit or loop, it’s a lovely out-and-back with great views and a clear turnaround point.
