I can't argue with the fact that the Sierra Club decided it WAS the "Bear Basin Trail" from Pine Valley to the Pine Ridge Trail. But in some current maps I have seen, the trail into Bear Basin no longer appears, and the Forest Service seems to have pretty much abandoned the trail from what I consider the Pine Ridge Connector into Bear Basin and up to Pine Ridge. So, with the Sierra Club nomenclature, we have a trail named for a location it no longer serves . Of course, those same topo maps seem confident there is a trail from the Double Cones, across the Window, and over to Mt. Manuel by way of Tin House Camp!
