Trail Conditions

The beginning of the trail from Sheep Lake did not burn and was in pretty good shape. After the initial ascent, you enter the first burn area which is a bit indistinct. You exit the burn area near the big meadow/pond where the trail skirts the north end. Shortly, you re-enter the burned areas and the trail gets considerably worse. It gets a lot steeper, parts are visible, parts are gone, but it is pretty open, so with some route finding getting to the top isn't too hard. The ground is very loose and unstable. On top, the south side is all burned but the north side escaped the fire. The top is basically all burned.
