OK just to be clear - from the huge parking lot as you head towards any marked trails is WEST right? There is a choice right at the top there - it SEEMS...and that would be red/left and yellow to the right and then bear left.....yes???

Just curious because I do not like to not know where I am going especially if doing this alone. I looked diligently for posted maps and saw none.
