Descends from Coyote Flat to Glacier Lodge. The top is a faint trail, potentially hard to follow, dropping and climbing out of a view valleys before a steep descent with a great view of the Palisade Glacier. Once it connects with North Fork of Big Pine, it becomes more obvious, and is a fun fast descent with occasional rocks.
