| no partners | | | Left Metate Trailhead near Granite Basin Lake on Granite Mountain Trail #261. At the intersection with Little Granite Mountain Trail #37 and White Rock Springs Trail #39, where Trail #261 turns north to climb the mountain, I went through the gate and continued straight onto Trail #39 till it ended at Upper Pasture Trail #38 where I turned east to the end of Trail #38 until it ended at Little Granite Mountain Trail #37 The loop was completed by turning north on Little Granite Mountain Trail #37. Returned on Trail #261 to Metate Trailhead. This was the second time I took Trail #38 to Trail #37. The first time I stayed on the original trail along the wash and ended up at the sign at the intersection, then I lost the trail on the way back. This time, I followed a fork to the south and up the side of the wash which had better footing, but has not been used as much. However, it is not obvious when you reach Trail #37 and I ended up going south on #37 and had to turn around and follow #37 north across another wash. |
