Itinerary description
Want to experience a landscape carved by glaciers. Then this is the place for you. It may not be as dramatic as Yosemite but everywhere you look the evidence of glaciers can be seen. From granite laid bare of soil, little lakes damned by glacier moraines, striations and scratches in the rock, and the high cliffs left as a glacier passed by. At the times the vegetation is sparse but then you are surprised by wildflowers. At other times you are walking through the pine forests that Sierras are known for. If back country or backpacking is your ambition then this trail is great because it connects to other trails that lead throughout the region.
