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!
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.
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.
A small creek flows alongside the trail for much of its path. The peaceful sound can be heard as you meander through the forest.
Granite boulders can be seen throughout the forest in the midst of the burned trees.
