Main Features If you've been following the guide and maps down the TYT or PCT to the Boulder Lake link between the two trails you can see that this is the fourth, Southernmost, and shortest of the four connecting trails between the Tahoe to Yosemite and Pacific Crest Trails across the Carson Iceberg Wilderness. South of here the trails again come together, more or less, where they exit the Carson Iceberg onto Highway 108 less than a mile apart.
