Long Description
The Shadow Creek Trail travels past glacier-fed lakes and icy streams at the base of the Minarets and Mount Ritter. The trail starts at Agnew Meadows (shuttle bus stop #1); for the first three miles, the Shadow and River Trails are combined. Near Olaine Lake the trails split; the Shadow Trail climbs past Shadow Lake to connect with the John Muir Trail. Camping is not allowed at Shadow Lake. The Shadow Trail continues up Shadow Creek to Ediza and Iceberg Lakes. This is an active bear area so you must use bear resistant food containers to secure your food and refuse. Other area trails have separate quotas; refer to the area map for trail names.
