Here's a picture of me at Trailside Meadow in June of 1992. I'm on a tuft of grass between two rivulets of the creek. Just beyond the one on the right edge of the picture is the trail. After it passes the meadow, it switches back up the craggy wall on the right for about a mile to Trail Camp. Other than some sky pilot that you see on the trail up to Trail Crest, this is the last major vegetation on the trail.
