The 2.8 mile trail (from Las Trampas Campground) is rocky and climbs quickly up the canyon through dense conifer forests to San Leonard Lakes (11,400 feet). Sheer cliffs rise up from the south, creating a beautiful settings and a delightful climax for the trip up the canyon.
It is possible to climb the high ridge to the east and drop down to the Trampas Lakes. This is a very steep and difficult climb of about 1,000 foot elevation change in less than a mile, but if you make the ascent you will be treated to a great view in all directions.
