An infamous mountain to climb here in Jackson is Sheep Mountain, known to locals as Sleeping Indian. Honestly why not, who would pass up a chance to sit on top on a well known land mark. There are two trails to summit Sheep Mountain, one from the Flat Creek Trail Head (7 miles round trip) from the National Elk Refuge, and the other from Red Hill campground just past Slide Lake (11 miles round trip). We chose the shorter of the two routes. We didn't make it to the summit, we only went on for a few miles until we passed Flat Creek Ranch. It was getting cloudy and looked like rain, and the top of a mountain is not where I would choose to be so we turned back
