Baker Creek/ Green Lake Trail

Follow directions for Big Pine Creek North Fork. The trail starts at a junction off the North Fork Trail. The Baker Creek Trail is now seldom used, for the creek can be reached by a 4 wheel drive road from Bishop. This trail provides spectacular views of the Palisade Crest. It takes in the canyons of both forks of Big Pine.

From the junction signed for Baker Lakes, 2 miles up the North Fork Big Pine Creek Trail, the trail climbs steadily to cross a ridge, and winds through a stand of Jeffrey Pines, that was logged back in the 1880's, this area is know appropriately as "Logger Flat".

The trail then climbs past Grouse Spring to a high point on a gentle ridge where views of the Middle Palisade and Disappointment Peak tower above the glacier. To the north, are the high rolling meadows of Baker Creek and Coyote Flat, a remnant of an ancient plain that existed before warping and faulting formed the mountains of the Sierra Nevada.
