Trail Conditions Reports

Welcome to the On-line Trail Conditions Report System for the Ventana and Silver Peak Wilderness Areas, provided as a public service by the Ventana Wilderness Alliance. Here you'll find up-to-date information on almost all of the trails in Central California's northern Santa Lucia mountains / Big Sur coast area, as well as contact information for folks who have recently walked the route you're considering.

Browse the list of trails to find those that interest you. Click on the trail name to find out the official USFS trail #,  information about nearest parking, connecting trails, and campsites. Click on "Latest Conditions" to view previously submitted trail conditions report, and "Submit a Trail Report" to submit a report for your own recent trip.

As you can see, this entire project depends heavily upon input from trail users such as yourself, so please take the time to tell us how the walking went on your last trip!
