During the deep, dark, cold months of winter 2004/2005, 11 hearty members of the VWA Trail Crew spent two weekends in the shadow of Cone Peak, working hard toward reclaiming the San Antonio Trail between Cone Peak Road and wonderful Fresno Camp. The fire of 1999 scorched the entire length of this section of the trail, resulting in rampant brush regrowth and numerous deadfall oak trees that completely blocked the way. But with a strong will and some tools, the dedicated crew reopened the route all the way to the camp, keeping one more option open for those who love to spend time in the Ventana backcountry.
