Started with the intention of attaining the lofty Prospector’s Gap as Im supposed to be training to hike the JMT this summer. However, the creeks had water and I was getting a bit tired when at the top of Middle Trail, so I decided to take the Falls Loop instead. I have always done that loop clockwise and it looked very different heading the other direction. Donner Creek proper had a small amount of fall activity, but the main falls were dry. That said, going counter clockwise offered some spectacular views of the chert beds!
I must have seen over a dozen varieties of wild flowers.
