YOSEMITE SOUTH

Lyell Canyon to Merced Lake High Sierra Camp

Leaving Vogelsang High Sierra Camp and taking the southern route you'll follow Fletcher Creek to a nice meadow. Looking back up the toward the camp you can see how gentle the descent is. It won't last! The trail to Emeric Lake goes to the left.

Emeric Lake is 4 tenths of a mile off the main trail, and its got some great views across to Mt Clark above. The view below is looking up canyon. There is a faint trail along the north side of the lake.

Back on the main trail between Vogelsang and Merced you'll get to see Fletcher and Emeric Creeks where they meet in the following two pictures.
