East Fork Sheep Creek is a 3-mile out-and-back hike in Montana's Bob Marshall Wilderness, within the Lewis & Clark National Forest. The route climbs from about 6,087 feet to a high point of about 6,994 feet, with a total elevation gain of about 894 feet. It is a hard route, and it is a natural-surface trail that allows horses but not bikes. The Forest Service manages the land, and the trail is not accessible. The climb starts at the low point and rises steadily to the high point, which makes the whole trip a challenge. Hikers planning a ride can bring a horse, and the trail remains open year-round. Nearby, Canyon Creek-Phillips Creek lies about 0.6 miles away, and Potshot Creek-Seedling Creek is about 2.8 miles off. North Fork Dupuyer is about 3.6 miles away, and the Blackleaf Canyon climbing area is about 8.7 miles from the trail.
