I hiked a major portion of the trail that starts at the State campground
on 8th Lake on the Chain of Lakes. Unfortunately for me, it was before
I began birding. It is a sign-in/sign-out trail, be sure to do so.

Hope these sites help.

The day soldiers stop bringing you their problems is the day you have stopped leading them. They have either lost confidence that you can help them or concluded that you do not care. Either case is a failure of leadership.  General Colin Powell
