    Interesting pic. Why the vignetting in the upper-left and lower-right?

    Crappy lens on the C2500L; that shows up on wide angle. I could crop it, but I'm too lazy.

    Yea, we rode it I think three times while I was there. I hate the climb up there, but you can't beat the scenery. The whole area was just photo op heaven.

    Popular spot, one of the most popular trails I've ever ridden, and you can see why.

    You mean the long slog from the parking lot? BTDT rolleyes1.gif

    We rode it in late June when Marlett Lake was still covering what was the
    trail. I think that was the best time. Later in the year, the trail turns to deep
    sand.

    This was early July. There was only a short section of trail still covered with water.

    1. Cropped slightly to remove the vignette.
    2. Applied the auto contrast thingy in photoshop elements.
    3. Slight sharpening with unsharp mask in PE.
    4. Save for web, attach.
