Tried to shortcut the PCT section near Crater Lake with a 'local's trail' and ended up bushwhacking for 3 hours before finding the actual path again.

I learned that a hand drawn map on a napkin from a guy at a gas station is not a reliable navigation tool, so what's the best way to verify those off book alternate routes before committing to them?

A napkin map, seriously?

I read that you should always check a local ranger station first.
