Red Spur ridge (left) rises up above the 3,000 foot Kern Canyon cliffs. In the far distance (left center to right) are the Kaweahs - Mount Kaweah, Red Kaweah, Black Kaweah, and Kaweah Queen. Looking southwest down the Wallace Creek valley.
An impressive, lengthy wall on the north side of the trail up Wallace Creek. This stretch of the wall is 1,000 ft. high.
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.
