“Enjoy spectacular views and wildflowers in the spring, along the South Fork of the Merced River.”
— Rafael Maravilla
Features
River/Creek · Spring · Wildflowers
Description
The trail is on the north side of the river so shade is minimal. The trail contours along the side of a mountain and is about 2 feet wide. It offers spectacular views of the South Fork of the Merced River and the surrounding Sierra Nevada National Forest. There is an abundance of wildflowers in the spring which look spectacular. The trail ends at Hite Cove and meets the Hites Cove Mine Rd. which you can follow down to CA route 140. Bug repellent is recommended.
