We hiked option 2 as described in the hike description by GPSJoe. This was the first time in the area and the weather, fog and snow, added to the adventure on this day. The route finding was a little difficult on the mesa due to the weather and then again just before you make the major drop down to the creek due to the trail markers, or lack of I should say. I was glad I had loaded GPSJoe's route into the GPS as I used it a lot on this trip in those areas. Great hike and we plan on a return trip on a clear day to check out the views.
