Merced Pass

Lower Merced Pass Lake is a shallow lake so its warm. Red Peak Pass is located about the center of the picture. Below are two views of Mt Star King, with Half Dome on the right.

Merced Pass is an easy pass to cross, and I mean easy. This is also one of the two areas in the park where you'll find volcanic rock from a small volcano that used to be nearby. The picture below was taken near the junction with the pass and the Moraine Meadows trail. Plenty of Lodgepole Pines.
