I did North and South Twin Friday and was going over my GPS route, etc this morning and noticed that the Garmin 24K Topo map shows a trail that goes roughly from the 2nd river crossing on North Twin Trail, heads East and skips the 3rd crossing, more directly climbs the ridge and rejoins the North Twin Trail roughly where the sharp bend that bears left is now (about 3700'). Is that an old trail route from days gone by?
I find the Garmin topo maps to have a variety of errors on them when compared to actual trail routes but this one is distinctly a separate trail from the current route, which is also on the map. If this was in fact a trail route at some point I'd be curious to know if it is still worn enough to be followed in summer. Looks like it follows a smaller stream and could be a potentially nice route if it in fact exists.
Any of you historians out there know anything about it or is it just an error in the map?
