As you come into the flats near Catfish Lakes, there is a small post with an "HC" on it. That is the Herring Creek Trail and is an alternate route back down to Strawberry. Worth checking out if you haven't tried it. It's a bit easier than the lower PCP trail. Herring Creek also has an upper section which you can access via the turnoff to the right at the beginning of the PCP mid-section.
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
