Ethan & I hiked out to Sheep Lake on this sunny, warm day, then on up to Sourdough Gap and the Crystal Lake overlook where we had lunch. We soaked up the views for 45 min or so and then headed back. The fall color was very nice, though this hike is not as good for color as the Naches Peak Loop in my estimation. We didn't see any wildlife and there were a lot more people, including lots of families, on the trail than I expected given that a portion of Hwy 410 is closed on the west side, but most folks were wearing masks and everyone was courteous.
