	Start Coordinates:   N 38 41.503, W 120 00.570     End Coordinates:   Same as Start Coordinates   Car Shuttle Req'd:   No Parking Directions:   Take Highway 88 to the Woods Lake Road just east of Caples Lake.  Head down the paved road to the parking area for Woods Lake, and there is a fee to park in this location.  The trailhead for this hike is just to the south from the parking spots.  Hazards of Note:   Weather in this area can change quickly so be prepared for various temperatures and rain. Crowd Factor:   Moderate.  This is a popular hike, especially in the spring and early summer for the spectacular wildflower displays along the trail. General Notes: From the parking area head south for the Lost Mine Trail.  You will pass to the west of Woods Lake, seeing it from a distance but never getting very close to it.  The trail climbs continually up toward Round Top Lake, where you will then follow a use trail up to the south aiming for a gap just to the right (west) of the actual Round Top Peak.  When you reach this gap, head up toward the top of Round Top, climbing class 3 rock as you make your way to the top.
