Overview
From Tuolumne Pass, this trail makes a gradual descent of the Emeric Creek valley past the Boothe Lake Trail, the Vogelsang Cutoff, and the Emeric Lake Trail before beginning a precipitous descent along (but not near) Fletcher Creek on numerous switchbacks. <br><br>The scenery along Emeric Creek is absolutely stunning. After descending the swicthbacks, the trail crosses a stout footbridge and ends at its junction with the Vogelsang Pass Trail and the trail descending into the Merced River Valley. The Emeric Lake Trail is one way to go between the High Sierra Camps at Vogelsang Pass and Merced Lake.
