Location
Found within the Glacier Peak Wilderness, the 45 Mile Sheep Drive trail begins at the Entiat River Trail, and ends at Emerald Park Trail. It's a 4.9-mile, rugged, primitive trail. As such, it is not regularly maintained and not recommended for stock. It was burned in the 2006 Tinpan Fire and there may be blowdown from this incident. Hikers will find it very steep and some routefinding may be required.
