    I'm going to be going from Merced Lake to Vogelsang HSC next week. There's two trails, both about pretty close in length. One follows Fletcher Creek, the other Lewis Creek. Has anyone done either of these trails and could tell me about them (steepness, scenery, etc)?

    Also, camp at Vogelsang lake at a distance from the HSC, or at Fletcher Creek at the backpackers campground? I'll have my bear cannister for flexibility so the bear boxes are irrelevant.

    James,

    I'm looking to be poking around in that area this weekend, and found this trip report very helpful:

    He mentions lots of campsites and has tons of photos. Click the "map" link at the bottom of the page to see what his route was. I believe he went on both trails you're asking about.

    He did, perfect, thanks. I wish I had the patience to write up trip reports that detailed.

    Thats all I remember, a long steep climb of switchbacks out, then a nice plateau medow, then a longer, more gradual climb.
