“A trail in the Marble Mountain Wilderness, across large meadows, to stunning views from the Pacific Crest Trail.”
— Bruce Hope
Features
Commonly Backpacked · Views · Wildflowers
The usual federal wilderness area regulations and restrictions apply here. There may also be additional wilderness-specific restrictions in force; check with the district office if in doubt. Practice Leave No Trace (LNT) backcountry skills and ethics. Camp 100 feet from fragile areas; bury human waste at least 200 feet from water, trails, and campsites. This trail is usually closed by snow from November to June.
Description
This trail passes through the high mountain meadows in the Red Rock Valley. Cattle are often grazing the meadows during the summer months - you'll hear their bells clanking. It is a less crowded, and less steep, way than the Canyon Creek Trail to reach the PCT or the Sky High Lakes from the Lovers Camp Trailhead. It can be used to form a nice backpacking loop trip with the Canyon Creek Trail, with an overnight at Shadow Lake or one of the Sky High Lakes.
