I use the gaia app on my phone , doesn’t show any track names out that way , just the main ones. So many little tracks up around that area but national parks are closing them all down pretty quickly atm. Its a shame, people need places to go and there is no point locking everything up in my honest opinion.

Great little spot for a camp. Looked like it's a little challenge to get down there but worth it. Sucks about the U-bolts breaking.
