Description
The upper trail to McNeil Point is at mile 4.2 (5700') if you go across the face of Bald Mountain, 3.6 miles if you go direct. There's a sign saying "McNeil Point".
The upper trail used to go up the valley about 0.1 mile closer to the trailhead. This trail has been closed for revegetation. There's a temporary sign indicating this.
The upper trail to McNeil Point is much easier than the lower trail, but there are a couple steep slopes to traverse.
If you're going to Cairn Basin, stay on the main trail.
