We expected to grab a trail map at the vistor’s center. But it is closed until Memorial Day, and they had none posted on the information board. But we did bring a barely legible print of this map, and written directions from this site. That was a good thing. The trails are mostly adequately marked, but they need written information at trailheads and junctures. You know, some arrows and names, nothing elaborate. So we had some adventures in not really knowing where we were headed at times.

This is at the base of the orange trail. The white arrow indicates the white trail.

My damn San Disk memory card crapped out on me, corrupting about 80 photos, leaving me with only a few photos, all from the end of the hike. The sun was starting to set, my camera compensates by increasing exposure time. Hand-held blurs ensue.

View from the footbridge.

We came here returning from a magnificent desolate rocky domed peak. It was a privilege being there. It's undoubtedly a sacred place. X marks the spot in the map above. I took a 360° panorama there. It's lost in digital limbo.
