1. A suggestion (maybe old news to you)

There are two apps I suggest…one I use CONSTANTLY, the other is similar but I don’t use it:

1) AllTrails: open the app and view the map view. Zoom into the area you are interested in and see if there are any dashed lines (these indicate trails). You might be able to identify the site you are searching for by evidence of a trail. I know I’m not explaining clearly, but after playing with the app I think you can figure it out.

2) Gaia app: real close to the same thing, but I don’t really use it

Note: a BIG plus to both of these apps is they can record your trek thru the “outback”, meaning you never get lost. Start the recording where you park…walk walk walk…Oh no, I’m lost! Pull out your phone and retrace your steps. It uses your phones GPS not phone signal, so if you have battery power you are never lost.
