The photo was taken just before Big Slide Lake, I am pretty sure I was on the trail, but in that depth of snow it was difficult to tell. The lookout is somewhat visible in the distance. I will have to watch what file names I give the photos on future postings.... Photo was taken in March, gogeous day, I was pretty impressed at two backpackers I ran into who camped overnight at an ice/snow covered Big Slide Lake.
I hiked part of Dickey Creek in February last year, and was amazed at how little snow there was then, but I can't imagine backpacking in March! WOW!.
The creek crossing must have been rather challenging as well. That creek gets going pretty good in the winter.
I was able to barely make out the lookout on the ridge in the distance, but the file name was a dead giveaway.

Good guess, Kirk. It's the Rho Creek trail, not too far from the remains of the old guard station.
You gave good clues about the creek and the road. I just got lucky that the topo map shows those two features. I'm assuming that the creek pictured is Rho Creek not too far from its headwaters? I'll have to find a picture to post now.
Seeing how everyone is out there hiking and enjoying are dismal summer so far this year and not posting on this website, I thought that I would post a photo of a trail I had hiked within the last month to get the conversation rolling again.
This trail is a current district trail and is in one of the new wilderness areas.
The day was one of those hot steamy July days, I believe in the 60's and with fog no less.

Looks like Old Baldy Trail to me.
My camera bends the trees there too. Maybe a vortex.

You are correct. I was up there in the middle of July, seeing how many trees were down on the trails in the area. It was one of those misty/rainy days. My walking stick has a bend in it, so it just fit right in.
Your turn to post a photo.
