To the west, the impressive view encompasses the Kearsarge Lakes, Bullfrog Lake and the serrated spires of the Kearsarge Pinnacles. On the west side of the pass our route descends easily on a traverse high above the basin holding the Kearsarge and Bullfrog Lakes. Crossing several small runoff streams in early season, the rocky-sandy trail contours high on the viewful slopes above Bullfrog Lake. On this viewful slope we reach a fork whose branches both go to the John Muir Trail. We take the left fork southwest.
Emergency services are perhaps available from the resident summer ranger on the north shore.
