What trail am I on?

That was a pretty big hint. I wonder if the red fire box parts are still up there. It has been a while since I have been up there. I like sitting on the "Potatoes" on the south side. I remember seriously doubting it was a real trail at first it is so steep. It had been neglected for quite some time.

I also remeber a pretty nice camp and lake at the east side of it before the trail starts the ramp up.

The seasons to enjoy it are far too short.

Here comes the next contest picture.

I don't recall seeing a red fire box up there.  The first time I was there (with my daughter) we missed the side trail to the "potatoes".  The last time I was up there a few months ago I made that my destination and didn't actually go all the way to the top.  I was running way behind schedule that day, and almost turned around, but quickened my pace so I could spend a few minutes on the potatoes.  It is a breathtaking view, but you do pay for it on the trail on the way up.  Very steep and very poor footing.  At least that part isn't very long.

Just need some sort of hint on your photo now.....I have to say, it looks familiar to me.

This trail is a short connector. High elevation, and not in any wilderness.

Is it the Red Lake Trail #719, with Wall Lake in the foreground and Potatoe Butte in the background?
