your way down at about a 49 deg magnetic bearing through pine forests and brush to Middle Creek at about the 9000 foot level. Don't drop to the creek, but pick your way through the brush to a large, vertical rock cliff adjacent to the creek on its N side at about elevation 8500 feet. Cross the creek here and ascend the steep opposite bank for 30 feet to a faint trail. Follow this trail NE for about 0.25 miles to the head of the Middle Canyon dirt road, which is then followed for about 0.25 miles to the cars.

ROUND TRIP STATS: 5300 feet elevation gain, 9 miles, 11 hours
