Date Hiked: August 10, 2021
General Condition: Difficult (brushy and/or many deadfalls, faint tread)
Hearing from someone outbound from Vicente Camp that he had tried to go up the Stone Ridge Trail but failed to find it, so gave up, I went up the first 1/4 mile to the meadow. Indeed, I lost the trail (finding an old fence post, but not the trail) in a large debris area. Used GPS to get back on, from there on trail was evident, though with frequent downfall. Met 2 hikers coming up after me, who also lost the trail then re-found it. Their plan was to ascend Cone Peak and overnight at Trail Spring Camp, a grand traverse, so hope to hear a report from them on trail conditions they found (which I encouraged) after they return.
