Starting up the Pelican Canyon Trail.

The Pelican Canyon Trail heads through the forest and is easy to follow.



Sections of the Pelican Canyon Trail felt like they were on the remains of an old forest road, but has since eroded into a trail.

About halfway up, a junction in a meadow. We headed north (right) along the social trail.

Cairns leading through the meadow.
