You can barely make out where the trail in the 2011 image because hundreds of trees killed by the 2002 Biscuit Fire had obscured its location. In 2012 SMC trail crews set out to buck those logs from the trail, and in 2013 Google caught another shot of this location. In that version you can make out the trail easily:

Below is a closeup of the switchback. You can see the numerous logs bucked from the trail.
