DAY 1 (Florence Lake Trailhead to PCT/JMT Junction, 5.5/9.5 miles): If you’ve elected not to take the ferry, follow the paved road through the picnic area, down to the lake, and along the west shore to the beginning of single-track trail. Enter John Muir Wilderness and proceed generally south across gently rolling terrain beneath mixed forest for 2 miles to a junction with the Burnt Corral Meadows Trail. Continue ahead (southeast) at the junction, traveling above the southwest arm of the lake for another mile to a junction with a lateral to the Burnt Corral Meadow Trail. Go ahead (southeast) here.

From there, head downhill to a bridge over a stream. A short stroll leads to another bridge, this one spanning South Fork San Joaquin River at 3.5 miles from the trailhead. Lodgepole-shaded campsites are spread along both banks of the river and a pit toilet is up the north hillside. From the bridge, head upstream and briefly follow the trail along the river until a moderate, half-mile climb over granite slabs leads to the ferry dock lateral.
