Event Overview
About the event: This out and back hike will take you downhill in Alpine Meadows for the first half and then get your heart pumping for the return to the alpine visitor center on the way home. On this high-altitude trail you will be surrounded by beautiful vistas, all the time. A series of pristine ponds in and around Forest Canyon Pass (around halfway down) are worth a stop, easily captured in photos with steep Forest Canyon and the 12,000-foot peaks of the continental divide beyond. To the northwest, the snowy peaks of the Never Summer Range glimmer in the distance on a sunny morning or afternoon. This is a great high alpine hike for anyone who wants to spend some time above tree line.
