These are amazing photos Steve. I really appreciate the clarity of the water and excellent use of light and reflection. I'm inspired to visit this area myself. Is it wheelchair accessable?

what trail?
Planning to explore this area this year. We HAVE to do this hike. Looking at a map, the area is just big enough and with enough trailheads marked, that we're confused. Can you provide specifics of which trail you hiked and where the trailhead is located, please? Thank you!!!
