I have done the hike to Sheep Lake twice before but this was my first time up to Sourdough Gap. Arrived at the parking lot around 3:20 and there were a few spots available. Bugs were the worst at the trailhead and were quick to get you when you got out of your vehicle.

The trail to sheep lake was great and ran into very few parties, but there was a good handful of people at the lake. Once on the trail up to the gap it got a little windy but the views were beautiful! At the gap the wind was very strong and again, the views were amazing. Beautiful hike on a beautiful day!
