10-342-2-164! 2.19 miles, trail emerges on Sage Trail, I turn R

I stop calling lat/lon because I believe that this part of the trail has not
changed

10-790-2-200 3.16 miles Stanley Peak Trail to R, I turn R

809-172
869-99
877-71

918-67 gate SA and the road veers to the R, I follow the road toward Stanley
Peak

927-36 locked yellow pipe gates to the L, and this road veers R

902-11
880-970 I'm walking here because the road is too steep to ride

however, I will probably ride back down [actually, I returned by an alternate
route]

839-10
824-30
824-34

the road is getting rocky, rutted and steep, but it's still a road [and it has
automobile tire tread marks on it]

767-924-end the road ends here, I park my bike and continue on a narrow path

763-903 path ends, I clamber up some rocks to my R to get to the summit

10-755-1-913! I'm at the center of the summit area, not exactly at the highest
point, but as high as I can go

mileage here is 3.90

to get up to the peak from the end of the road, keep to your right, that's an
easier way up than the way I actually took

the time now is 11:16 AM, I sit down here and eat my lunch

I go back the way I came, walking on the steepest descents

L into Old Tank Trail [10-793-2-6]

783-17
780-24

746-34
736-46

733-43! 4.24 miles, the trail emerges near the old water tank

I stop calling lat/lon and return to Sage Trail via the old access road

[I follow Sage Trail west to the Ranch House and then go south on the
East Ridge Trail]

5.94 miles at a junction of the East Ridge Trail and and unsigned trail
10-608-2-883 I follow the unsigned trail

580-883
568-890
555-914

538-913! the road ends, end of this part, I turn around

it is apparently an access road for one of the utility poles
