Main Features:
note on canyon naming: Thomas Winnett points out in his classic trail guide, The Tahoe to Yosemite Trail, that the series of ridges dividing Highland Creek from Arnot Creek are misnamed on the 15 minute USGS maps. This error has apparently been corrected since Winnett pointed it out in 1970, as the canyon leading out of the Highland Creek drainage is now labeled as Jenkins Canyon on the USGS 15 minute topo maps. For Winnett's comments, see page 79 of the 1987 5th edition. |
