Mangoe, you said that you have "not been able to get information about the path or specific points on the tour" from any independent sources. Here are a few. The New York Times ran a story in 1996 called "The Gold Rush Becomes a Walk in San Francisco" that mentioned many of the stops along the trail. A 1996 article, originally in the Contra Costa Times, reprinted in the Lawrence Journal-World, called "Redevopment returns toursits to Barbary Coast", described some tour highlights. A 1998 article in the Los Angeles Times, reprinted in the Eugenre- Register-Guard, called "History comes to life along the Barbary Coast Trail", describes several of the stops. The Washington Post ran a story in 2000 called "San Francisco's Wild and Wicked Walk" that described many of the points of interest. The Lodi News-Sentinel ran a story in 2006 called "San Francisco's past, culture come alive through Barbary Trail", describing ten "must see stops" along the trail. Though the full articles are hidden behind pay walls, the opening paragraphs make it clear that the Contra Costa Times, the San Jose Mercury-News, the Santa Rosa Press-Democrat, the Sacramento Bee, the Modesto Bee, The State in South Carolina, the Deseret News, the Boston Herald, the Washington Times, and the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel have all given significant coverage well beyond passing mention of this topic.
