Description
This trail branches off from the Loop Trail, passes Moss Lake, and goes to the Moss Lake Primitive camping area. Moss Lake is more like a large stock tank than a lake to swim in, but it's still an interesting sight in comparison to the usually arid, granite covered area. An ephemeral creek crosses the trail close to the intersection of the side Connecting Trail, so try to avoid getting your feet soaked after heavy rain.
