 Likely In-Season! 
Study the map. Study the map some more. Look it over one more time. The Sierra Club lists this hike as 8-10 miles roundtrip. No clue what they're doing, but I assure you there's a shorter way. Best if you are really good with difficult terrain.


The area is precious and full of adventure. No witches or modern Apaches in tennis shoes with machetes. Just a zoo of snakes and enough tarantulas for any enthusiast!
