Access Issues
Do not use the low water crossing on the north end when water covers the trail. Unexpected fast water flows can sweep you into deep water.

Description
This trail runs counter-clockwise around the basin. To complete the loop, there is a short low-elevation crossing on the north end which should not be used when water is flowing. The loop provides a detour for the White Oak Fairbanks to Hollister Segment during high-water events.
