This trailhead orientation panel shows a map and images of the Lewis Creek Trail area. Lewis Creek Trail is a 9.8 miles one-way trail at a difficult incline. This can be a hot and dusty climb, and the trail becomes difficult to follow north of Kennedy Pass. The trail offers a wide variety of terrain, with forests, lakes, and meadows. The first campsite along the trail is 5.5 miles from the trailhead, at Frypan Meadow.

Tips
Burned in recent fires so there is little shade, but the views open up because of it. Very few people.
