The trail is a bit hard to follow (traveling toward Dodson Trail) as it exits and skirts Fresno Creek. There are a number of deer trails criss-crossing it, and several cairns are hard to see.

ET trail must carry a lot less foot traffic than the Dodson does. It was heavily overgrown and looked like nothing more than a game trail at the intersection with the Dodson. When I passed it in Feb '09, I wondered how long it had been since the last hiker had used it.

It has been a while since I came in from the ET trailhead but I remember wandering around trying to find that trail before climbing up and getting my bearings. That was one tough start.

Lance and I were there last weekend. Not too hard to follow. But not as distinct as Dodson of course
