Where are the remains of the Lotus Inn? What would the Lotus Inn look like today if it were still on the trails? I'm taking a guess at this one and I may have it wrong. Please be kind!!! There is no historic marker at this spot. You really have to use your imagination and some help from the internet. The major clue in this picture is the shed to the right. That is the piece that I tried to focus on. Is it even part of the shed? You can find a section of it to the right of the trail. I visualized an old picture and redesigned it into a modern photo.
