Only about 22 minutes later and nearly a mile east I turned right here, downhill to cross the creek, and climbed (slowly and painfully) up to Gem Lake. In a pinch I could have kept going straight for a much shorter walk downhill to a nearer trailhead, but then ended up several road miles around from my car.
