Location Information
GENERAL INFORMATION: Sheep Camp is similar to many of the trail camps on the district. The camp is located under a stand of Jeffery Pines. Sheep Camp can be reached from Mt. Pinos by taking the trail at the Condor Observation Point (21W03) for three miles; from Lockwood Valley approximately seven miles and from Mt. Able by taking the Mt. Pinos-Mt. Able trail (21W03) for three miles. Hikers should be in good condition before taking this hike because of the high elevation and steep pitches in the trail. There are four stoves and a spring box for water, which needs to be purified.
