Looking southwest down the Wallace Creek valley from the trail (right) cut into the rock, there are dramatic views of Red Spur rising above the 3,000 foot cliffs of Kern Canyon ahead.
Wallace Creek cascades down this valley to empty into the Kern River. Far in the distance left to right, are The Kaweahs and Lawson Peak, with Picket Guard Peak the rightmost peak, slightly closer. Seen looking west-southwest down Wallace Creek valley.
