Doing a brief overnight section this weekend RPH-301/Canopus lake. Anyone know if there's any shuttlers in the area so I can bring one car? Or if there's reliable cab service in the area? I am going to call the State Park office and ask about a pickup at the main camping area but if anyone local knows of the options, do tell. Would be saturday afternoon around 3. Thanks in advance!

talked to the park office. in case any one is interested they said there's been a lot of vandalism on cars parked at the trail crossing spots so they don't permit overnight parking there at this time, and that i need to pay $10 to park at the main campground lot 3/4 mile north of the trail crossing. So will add a bit to the end of the walk but that's ok. I honestly don't have a problem with the fee either. $10 is worth the peace of mind and goes to support a state park which i'm always game for. Its possible they may just want the $ and don't really enforce or ticket cars parked at the trailhead. Either way, the ranger was very friendly and enthusiastic to talk about hiking in his park so it left me feeling good and even more excited for the hike

he said cabs were very expensive as they are somewhat remote
