About This Trail

The amazing Long Meadow, Wondrous granite mountains, and secret waterfall are all quotes. The hike starts out along the river with hard granite and stark rock faces. You can follow the trail up the stream to a waterfall. The trail heads north towards Sunrise camp at a junction a few miles from Merced Lake. The section of trail has amazing views, but the forest is being ravaged by beetles. The trail goes west, then south, before it goes into the meadow. Sunrise High Sierra Camp is located on a bluff overlooking a meadow and is one of the loveliest settings in the Sierras.
