From the trailhead at 5,600 feet, the Clover Creek Trail winds through deep shady woods and small sunny clearings to Clover Creek. The trail then climbs along the meadows and ridges of the Clover Creek drainage to Clover Lake, a small but popular fishing spot off to the left of the trail. (Don't be tricked into thinking the forest pond after crossing the creek is Clover Lake.) From Clover Lake, continue for about one mile to where the trail joins the Mountain Lakes Loop Trail at an elevation of 7,000 feet. The wet meadows, stream banks and lakeshores are beautiful settings which require the practice of minimum impact visitation to endure.
