Just up the hill from the turnoff to Lower Buckhorn is the junction with the Buckhorn Trail. Follow the right (east) option to stay on the Indian Trail (now 26W08); it’s the wider and typically better maintained of the two and is a former roadbed, so it is fairly easy to navigate. This route climbs easily for a few hundred yards to another junction with an old firebreak, this one leading around the northern edge of the knoll below which Buckhorn and Indian Creeks met just earlier in your hike. Crest the saddle to your right (east) and drop into the meadow below, regaining the Indian Creek drainage. At the southeast corner of the large meadow into which you descend you’ll find Meadow Camp (4.8 miles, 1,955', N34° 35.057' W119° 40.090').

CAMP MEADOW

ELEVATION: 1,955' | GPS: N34° 35.057' W119° 40.090'

Formerly known as Indian Meadow, this camp is situated just outside the wilderness boundary, so while uncommon, mountain bikers shouldn’t cause alarm. The site features a dilapidated table and fire ring. Water can be retrieved from the creek but shouldn’t be relied upon in summer. There is virtually no shade here. Note: This site does not appear on current USFS or USGS maps.
