Great pics! I loved your T.I. sunrise, and your Nydiver campsite. But please, I've tried to find the Nydiver use trail to no avail. What are the keys to finding it?

There's really only a short section where it could be. Just be good at your map skills and trail intuition about the terrain below Ediza. Use Nydiver outlet as a guide.

You could always use open street map. The trail is on there, right where you'd expect it to be, where the slope angle is the easiest. I just kinda struck off through the woods and banged into it.

Have tented near the same spot at Nydiver. Good high altitude location in Ritter Range to base camp and capture early late light. Your day 3/4 route zone I have yet to visit so was nice to look at your views. Normally your date would be the peak of most wildflowers especially Pierson's paintbrush in turf areas, however 2019 was such a big snow winter that all was several weeks delayed however that gave you lots of flowering heather.

Yeah, the first time I came down from Nydiver (had got there via Whitebark Pass) I bumped into the trail by accident. Didn't know it was there. Coming from Shadow Lake, I did the same as you---just go where you think it's going to be and before long you'll cross it.
