Morgan Pass and Gem Lake

From the parking lot at Mosquito Flat, start climbing on the trail in to the Little Lakes Valley. After 0.3 miles, you'll see the first lake and a sign noting entry into the John Muir Wilderness. From there you'll follow Rock Creek as it flows from lake to lake.After about 3 miles, the trail splits (no sign!). Take the left to climb up to Morgan Pass. The closest peak to the pass is Mount Morgan, but many others can be seen from this vantage as well. After enjoying the views, descend back to the junction and turn left to hike to beautiful Gem Lake.Enjoy a peaceful and scenic setting at Gem Lake. Maybe go for a dip! When you're ready, retrace your steps through the valley back to the parking lot.
