This little project gives some hints on following cross country ski trails, showing the markers and area for the tour to Inyo Craters. Started late in the day, stopping constantly to photograph meant I had to start back short of the craters. This does show the condition of the trail and markers, and helps find them. Where the markers are hard to find I centered them, and have sharpened them and adjusted the lighting.

1       Road head Kiosk has a general map, mostly for snow mobiles It's badly chewed area with few hints.	2       Trail head Trail markers There are both the brown skier marker and blue diamond, if you hunt.	3       Start-end Looking back to the road. Look back frequently, snow, snow mobiles, and the sun hide your tracks.
4       Conditions apparent Markers 2 & 3 are pointed out with my poles Trails are not maintained, so new brush may hamper looking and progress.	5       Looking Back See where you want to return, markers are easier to spot now.	6       Obvious it is not The next mark is beyond the down tree At least it discourages snowmobiles from using our trails.
7       Next marker The hieght on the tree is the most consistant factor.	8       Two markers are visable here The trail opens up and you can speed up.	9       Another marker shows itself Watch while cruising, finding the next, you can make tracks
10       Trail sigs Trails cross here, and signs are here Guns, birds, no maintainance and weather take their toll	11       Back and forth Looking back	12       Looking forth to the next marker Other tracks may help in finding the marker
