- What remains unverified for Sonora Pass to Leavitt Lake Trail junction? The Sonora route still ends at the PCT junction. The Leavitt Lake branch now has a separately reviewed route and display chain; no automatic combined return itinerary is asserted. Jurisdiction along the Emigrant/Hoover divide, PCT permit applicability, Leavitt Peak, Dorothy Lake and Yosemite continuations, parking/highway crossing, atomic mileage and current conditions remain unresolved.

Still unresolved
- Are the selected approach and facilities usable on the trip date? Current road, trail, snow, crossing, water, fire and facility status is unknown. Individual alerts and mapped closures need route-specific matching; the Site Open banner is not route-level clearance.
- How do the selected trailheads connect to lakes, passes and each other? The eight western approaches from Crabtree, Gianelli, Bell Meadow and six northern approaches are joined by five bounded southern/eastern approaches: Box Springs–Chain Lakes, Bourland mapped terminus, Shingle Springs–Kibbie/Huckleberry and Leavitt Lake–PCT junction. Bourland continuation, Kennedy parking/branch geometry, southern display gaps, deeper lake/pass branches, returns and individual facility spurs remain unresolved; no wilderness-wide route completeness is claimed.
- What boundary precision and exact jurisdiction remain unverified? Reviewed PAD-US designated-wilderness display geometry now matches Emigrant Wilderness, OBJECTID 237112. Survey/legal precision, current amendments and exact route-side jurisdiction remain unverified. Polygon overlap does not create access, containment or permission.
- What camps, toilets, water sources and parking are available along the approach? Coverage includes historical trailhead facilities, Baker/Deadman/Cherry Valley campground reports, 45 individually reviewed Cherry Valley listing pages and Kennedy cabin inventory. Conflicting water/toilet/fee reports, omitted Cherry Valley site 001, individual Baker/Deadman sites, current availability, remote camps and facility connectors remain unresolved. Inventory is not a reservation or operating guarantee.
