After about a mile descending and climbing in the heat (yes, the summer finaly reached the Tri-Valley), it looks the lake didn't seem to come any closer.
Considering the trails are rather boring in this hilly terrain for Maarten and also because of the heat we should have already reached the lake after one mile.
There were no signs at all at the trailhead and even not at the following junctions. The first sign we came across was on the junction between Ridgeline and Eaglecrest Trail.
But Eaglecrest is not on my map!
Well, it is, but in a different area.
It was clear enough that we started at a 'wrong' trailhead, at least according to my planning.
What is supposed to be a short stroll down to the lake became quite a tough hike of at least 5 miles.
We took a shortcut following a cow path and a dry creek bed and happily reached the shore just opposite Tarantula Cove.
Plunge!
