This trail to Buena Vista Peak is one of the easier hikes to reach the summit in the Sierra, with fantastic views all the way. In the spring and summer, there are colorful blooms of Torrey's Blue-eyed Mary and Mustang clover on the forest floor. Approximately .35 miles from the start, a small set of stairs is built into the granite underfoot. When you reach the top of the stairs, continue slightly to the left to relocate the trail leading to the summit.
