Having grown tired of fighting the crowds in Yosemite, we decided to hike a nearby trail in the Sierra National Forest. Leslie found a trail that ended in a set of falls. We hiked the Lewis Creek Falls Trail to Red Rocks Falls (4.3 miles, 404 feet of elevation change, 1131 calories burned) along Lewis Creek. The trail paralleled Lewis Creek so we could hear the creek gurgling the whole way. The trees were past their peak color but were still nice. There were several log “bridges” we had to cross to get over the creek and various feeders. Red Rocks falls was beautiful and a pleasant break from the crowds in Yosemite. After the hike, we went to the local brewery for a beer.
