Here's another hint to kind of help things along.  The location of the photo is near the confluence of two pretty good size creeks.  And in the other direction near the trail junction mentioned earlier (also not far) is a well-used area of campsites.

It wouldn't be the Pansy Lake trail would it?  Maybe the junction with the Dickey Lake trail?  Just making a guess....

No, but you're in the right wilderness.

The only other trail I see that looks remotely like what you are describing would be the Elk Lake Creek trail.  I don't recall seeing this on that trail last summer, but I didn't go all the way north.  Could it be north of the Welcome Lakes trail cutoff?

It is the Elk Lake Creek trail, and the photo was taken just downstream of the Battle Creek shelter area, the area of campsites that I mentioned.  The two creeks are Battle Creek and Elk Lake Creek.  The trail junction is with the Mother Lode Trail in the Battle Creek shelter area.

Here is a photo from Google Earth which might help.
