Today it is a no-outlet trail. Originally it was just one stop on the string. I have been considering following one of the former outlets which is now abandoned and far from obvious.

That woody shrub on the right, huckleberry?

The rocks, large? Exposed by man or natural?

My reckless guess: Buck Lake.

It's not Buck Lake.

Outside of the trail itself, this trail has not been altered by man. It is a defacto wilderness.

There are huckleberries there. Overall a light shrub cover over much of the trail. Lots of boulder fields mixed into the light woods.

Is that Oregon Grape growing amongst the moss?

The thing in the center is a stunted turtlehead, and on the left is something I can't identify. There is no Oregon grape in the photo. To the right is two huckleberries.

As I recall the whole rock was six feet high or so and more than that across. The mossy shelf is probably four or five feet wide. There is rock nearby with dripstone formed when still partially molten.

I might add that this trail is no longer maintained, and the tread iis just beginning to show it the past few years. All the trail signs are down.
