    You can start the trail by walking along the lake for a short while from the main parking lot of the reservoir.

    The actual trailhead is a short ways east of the lake along a dirt road.

    While it looks like the trail continues straight, you actually want to take a right here assuming you are heading around the lake clockwise. The trail to the right looks like an eroded creek bed, but it is actually the correct way.

    Early spring means that the peaks still have plenty of snow on them.

    This is either the end of the trail if you travel clockwise or the trailhead if you take the counterclockwise route.

    Finishing off the trail involves circling the lake.
