Way to Walk
I am an avid fan of John McKinney’s regular articles on hiking trails. The Nov. 24 story, “Roads Less Traveled Off Mulholland,” resulted in my getting hopelessly lost. Through no fault of McKinney’s, the problem was caused by a misleading sign on the Garapito Trail. Readers should be aware that after they enter the signed Garapito Trail from the Temescal Fire Road they will come to another sign (about one mile from the trail head) pointing the wrong way. At this sign, hikers should take a sharp left turn up the trail rather than proceeding straight ahead as the sign indicates. The correct move at this junction will guarantee a beautiful trip and prevent a bad time.
