A short 5-mile loop for those wanting to camp at the Walnut Creek Shelter (primitive lean-to located about halfway down the 4-C National Recreation Trail) without hiking the entire trail. The map begins where the 4CNRT crosses Forest Service Road #511, roughly half a mile (0.5mi) from the shelter. Be aware there is a short section (~0.4mi) that is off-trail, between the 4CNRT and the Forest Service Road that loops back to the start. As long as you have a compass, just head east and you'll be fine.
