Bog Springs and Kent Springs Loop GPX Track

I need to offset my substantial website costs somehow! You can download a hike/drive GPX to assist you here. Before sharing my GPX tracks with others, please remember my site is otherwise a free resource.

This is a nice loop with views of Mount Wrightson that passes three unremarkable springs with manmade containers, Bog Springs, Kent Spring, and Sylvester Spring. A short hike leads along the foothills of Mount Wrightson to a junction of the loop I'd be doing. I went clockwise, starting up the Bog Springs Trail first. The hike up to Bog Springs had some hints at views, and the spring itself was a concrete box. The best views are between Bog Springs and Kent Spring, the next leg of the loop. The trail from Kent Spring back down and past Sylvester Spring is actually just a defunct dirt road, but the forest is nice and the trail follows a pretty creek.
