A small creek flows alongside the trail for much of its path. The peaceful sound can be heard as you meander through the forest.
The trail descends through a forest of polished granite and burned dead trees as it approaches Yosemite Creek.

The most amazing views await you at the top!
The trail descends through a forest of polished granite and burned dead trees as it approaches Yosemite Creek.
Yosemite Creek flows through polished granite as it makes its way through the forest. Pools of water provide good opportunities for a nice dip, but not deep enough for swimming.
Granite domes can be spotted through the forest as you descend through the Yosemite Creek drainage.
Lichen and moss cover part of a boulder, possibly a glacial erratic, sitting beside the trail.
Dead and burned trees line the trail for its entirety. As it approaches the trail junction, the trees start to thin and you get a little better view of area around you.
The trail crosses a gravel bar with pine trees on it. The trail moves away from the creek briefly, and there are campsites in this area because you can be away from the creek easily for those backpacking.
