Sheep Canyon Trail #240

Sheep Canyon trailhead sinkhole at entrance to trailhead parking.
Entering the Sheep Canyon trailhead parking area there is a 8'x5' hold that is up to 2.5' deep in spots.
If a car/truck drives into that hole 99.9% chance they are stuck

Sheep Canyon viewpoint trail overgrown with brush and some fallen (small) trees blocking trail

Sheep Canyon trail --> from Sheep Canyon trailhead to jct with #238 trail is moderately overgrown in spots

How far did you hike in? I'm curious about snow levels

-zero- snow, at least through the loop around crescent ridge.

I put in at the Blue Lake Trailhead #238 (Toutle Trail on a South-to-North route)
At the #238 / #240 jct I went east around to the Loowit trail #216, made the loop back to #238, and back south.

enjoy!
