Topo map of the trail connecting Murphy Creek trail with the Sunrise TH at Tenaya Lake. I'm on a mission to see if it is still there.
37.83827N 119.46368W is what my iphone GPS says. There is no sign on the Murphy Creek trail, but this is where the junction is supposed to be. You can see the faint trail going down into the creek. I'm going to follow it to see what I can find.
There isn't much water in the creek, so crossing is easy.
Well, this could be a trail, maybe.
These stones look like they've been placed with a purpose.
Yes, I think this is it.
The log has been cut, so amazingly this unmarked trail appears to be maintained.
Rock work from a long time ago.
A view of Tenaya Lake.
And suddenly here we are at Tioga Road. The Murphy Creek connector trail is unmarked and unnoticed.
Directly across the street is the shuttle stop for Sunrise TH.
