Trail Map and Trail Mileages

The following map shows the trails that originate at Chantry Flat and ones that are near Chantry Flat and are connected to those trails. The map below is linked to a larger map.

On the right is a table identifying the trails and giving our best estimate of the mileages for each trail, as well as the key to the trail numbers and location letters on the map. (Mileages for the Gabrielino Trail are given in the table below, and with segments of the Gabrielino Trail color-coded in Trails From Chantry Flat: Mileage For Trail Segments.)

Many of the mileages have been measured with a wheel, and thus are much more accurate than most trail mileages. Comparisons of several such measurements show that the uncertainty is probably ~0.02.
