Ooops, I must have deleted the map from my Cal Topo account at some point. But the route is easy and 95% on trail. It's basically Cottonwood Pass Trailhead --> Trail Pass --> Tunnel Meadow --> north up Golden Trout Creek --> Rocky Basin Lakes (this is the part where the trail gets faint) --> cross the ridge northeast of the lakes and hike east toward the PCT (still off trail) --> pick up the PCT to the Rock Creek Trail --> turn off into the Miter Basin --> explore the Miter Basin --> turn around and hike out of the Miter Basin --> PCT sobo to Cottonwood Pass --> back to the trailhead!
