Magically beautiful hike. Creek, trees, wild flowers, waterfalls, and a gorgeous lake at the end. Bring mosquito repellent!

I would say it is one of the best hiking trails to enjoy fall colors in eastern sierra. When you hike up about 1-3miles you will see a lot of aspen trees and enjoy California Falls!! Yes it’s just 1-3miles. Only one downside is that there are a loooooooooooot people. So be aware of the crowds 😌

Came here for the fall colors and the trail did not disappoint. I would recommend hike up about 2 miles. The parking situation was terrible, good thing I came in a bike.

We backpacked for ~10 days in the John Muir Wilderness for wildlife surveys. Was a really special place to explore. Thank you to the amazing trail, the beautiful forest, the lakes and streams. We hope to be back, and spend more time adventuring in such a magical place.

Beautiful place to hike or trout fishing. High country views at the tree line. Be prepared for weather changes due to the altitude. Take your family and friends with the dogs….
