From the parking area on the west side of the highway, head east to the signed entry point for Panther Meadow. Take a few moments to read the information board for helpful hints as to how you may best enjoy the meadows without causing unnecessary human impact. The short and easy trail heads south a ways before veering east toward the Upper Panther Meadow. Watch for the fork in the trail. The left fork goes to the Upper Meadow and source spring; the right fork descends to the Lower Meadow alongside the cascades of Panther Creek. Notable trees in the area include Lodgepole Pine, Mountain Hemlock, Shasta Red Fir, and Whitebark Pine on the ridges above. Please respect the area around the source spring, as this is considered a sacred site. The rock walls around the spring were constructed to preserve the banks from damage caused by visitors filling up water bottles and getting in the water. Please do not fill up water bottles or place any objects in the spring itself; instead there is an access point about 10 feet below the spring.
