Description

A 49-mile loop that visits 6 of Yosemite's High Sierra Camps. Starting from Tuolumne Lodge and going clockwise: Vogelsang, Merced Lake, Sunrise, May Lake, Glen Aulin and back to the Tuolumne Lodge trailhead. After Vogelsang, there are two options to take for a route to Merced Lake; I took the outermost path over Vogelsang Pass.

Description

This is a 1680 ft mountain on the Oregon coast near Manzanita.  It climbs over 1100 ft in 2 miles.  It lies within the Northern Coastal Range mountains.  The trailhead sits across Hwy 101.  The trail has rocky sections, rooty sections, smooth sections and a few areas where you have to run through overgrown bushes. The last little section to the summit is basically all rock and requires some careful footing, though there's no real danger of falling off.
