Dinosaur Falls Trail

Route Description for Dinosaur Falls Trail

While throughout much of the hiking season Dinosaur Falls Trail is moderately trafficked, on weekends and holidays it can become rather busy. Parking can therefore be hard to acquire at certain times of the year, so it is suggested you arrive earlier in the day so as to not have any issues. A shuttle bus also exists to save you the effort of locating parking.

After locating the trailhead, follow the northernmost pathway towards Reds Meadow Campground. Having traveled a few hundred feet, you will arrive at a quick succession of junctions within the trail. Continue to follow the northernmost pathway through each junction before crossing Reds Creek.

The Dinosaur Falls Trail will travel along a paved section of roadway for a short distance before delivering you to a pathway. Follow the pathway as it makes its way north towards Sotcher Lake and, after arriving at the lake's western shore, take the opportunity to enjoy the sights! Once you're ready, backtrack your steps towards the parking lot.
