Description

The Sheep Creek Trail starts at the end of FSR 455. The Sheep Creek Trail (FST 645) is all beautiful singletrack with lots of aspens and meadows. It has some fairly easy climbs and descents and a couple of creek crossings with narrow log bridges. This area is dog friendly because of those same creeks. The views are great, and this is a must-do ride in the fall season.
