[Geysers] Query about trail

[Paul Strasser]

We took this trail in 2003.  It was well-maintained.  You can do a decent
loop - up from Biscuit, then over to the view, then backtrack a bit and then
descend by Mystic Falls with some very nice (fire-cleared) view of these
falls.

 

So unless there's been some drastic change since 2003 it's still there.

If that's the one I hiked in 2000, here is what I saw (and I kinda doubt
that it's been changed):

 

Three times at forks in the trail, the trail signs point left toward the
very long Fairy Creek Trail.  But nothing points to the right, and this is
the way up the mountain above Biscuit Basin, with a different way down (if
it's a loop trail, it's a huge loop).  The trail was very much there in 2000
when I hiked it, even though it was a little scary not knowing where I was
headed.  (Well, not completely.  I had studied the trail map voraciously.)
So, you might want to make a note of this?  Let's see what the OFVC staffers
have to say.

This most likely will be best answered by the OFVC staff. Is the trail that
switchbacked up the bluff above Biscuit Basin still open and maintained?
(No, hiking it isn't in my current plans -- but I'll delete it from the
rewrite of my book should it _not_ be there.)
