Special topic for photo enthusiasts:
To see a very impressive 'google photo sphere' view from the trail,
use these coordinates as the search key in Google
38.9959866,-120.0953279
Then open the Google map, zoom in around the red marker, switch to 'Earth' view,
and click the 'person icon' in lower right and click on blue dot that appears at the marker.
You are then able to slide images as if you were there and rotating around 360 degrees.
EXIT this feature with arrow in upper left.
Tips about and two examples of this feature are seen in: http://dickmarge.info/goo-pho-sph
For more info: search: 'google photo sphere'.
