Trail:  Vogelsang to Merced Lake

There are two routes between Vogelsang and Merced Lake. The first profile below is for the shorter one, along Fletcher Creek. It is about 7-1/2 miles long. The other route, along Lewis Creek, is about a mile longer and entails an additional 500' elevation gain - it tops out at 10,700' Vogelsang Pass. The second profile below is for this route.
 
The photogenic young couple in photo are standing near where the two routes meet. That is Merced Lake in the background.
