Description

The trail heads east from the parking lot near Lower Highland Lake with a few good views towards Tryon Peak. You reach the boundary of Carson-Iceberg Wilderness after about 0.6 miles, shortly followed by the junction with Disaster Creek Trail #20E03. Keep left and cross Lower Gardner Meadown. The trails end on Wolf Creek Pass as you reach PCT: Sonora Pass to Echo Lake.
