Had a really nice 5 mile hike out here yesterday. My route is in pink on the yellow map picture, I parked at the ranchview lot. Really had to pay attention to the turns and map numbers while I was out so be careful not to get lost. I saw 2 gray owls, a bunch of trumpeter swans at Golden lake, and was lucky to hear the elk bugling. It was muddy, lots of horse poop to dodge on the trail. I'd recommend if you're in the area and want to see something new.
