Sharon and I headed out to Sheep Lake and beyond to Sourdough Gap. Sheep Lake is an easy 2 to 2.5-mile hike to a wonderful little alpine lake. Most of the wildflowers were bloomed out, but that also meant that bugs were mostly gone too. We passed Sheep Lake and headed up to Sourdough Gap, then beyond that to another ridge with great views down to Upper Crystal Lake. The views up here are wonderful, with a perfect mix of meadows and sub-alpine trees. Perfect day, perfect weather.
