FS 31E302

This two mile out and back trail drops 123 feet before climbing 564 feet to a high point of 11,112 feet, offering beautiful views of the Palisade Mountains in the Eastern Sierras and Brown Lake as you drop in elevation. The trail reaches the bottom after a mile with a small water crossing over a creek, then climbs up the other side through a pine forest where the surface transitions to more dirt and grass. The route ends overlooking South Lake and Highway 168 below, with patches of lupine wildflowers to enjoy throughout the journey.
