 many points along the road. Glen Creek, which flows through Swan Lake Basin, has many red speckled brook trout in it. Camping is not allowed along Glen Creek or in Swan Lake Basin.

Swan Lake (7,256 feet) is near the 5-mile post, and the headquarters camp of the Wylie Permanent Camping Co. is passed just before reaching the 6-mile post. After passing the 6-mile post camping is permitted at any point over 100 feet from the road. However, as the timber commences near this point, the openings where grass can be obtained are noted on the succeeding pages as camp sites. Between 6-mile post and Apollinaris Spring, 10 miles from Mammoth Hot Springs, are many good camp sites. All the streams along the road have trout in them.

Gardiner River (7,300 feet) is crossed at the 7-mile post, and a little farther at the right of the road is the first camp of the Shaw & Powell Camping Co. Here the road enters Willow Park (7,300 feet), comprising the valley of Obsidian Creek, which is frequently crossed by the dams of beaver and dotted by their ungainly houses.
