Lower Meadow
This is a good spot to stop for out of shape people or people with young children. You get a nice meadow with tons of wild flowers and view of Three Fingered Jack. This is a wildflower sanctuary. Do not pick the flowers. Whether you choose to go on to the Upper Meadow or head back to your car you should continue clock wise around the loop.
