Date Hiked: December 18, 2022 General Condition: Passable (some brush and/or deadfalls, tread evident) The summit spur had some brushy moments, but honestly was probably a tad bit clearer than lower down on the mountain. Then for the last mile or so, we had 6-8 inches of snow and were doing small p...

Date Hiked: December 18, 2022 General Condition: Passable (some brush and/or deadfalls, tread evident) Beautiful trail! We ran this from the Santa Lucia Memorial Park Campground up to the first saddle/trail intersection. Kind of brushy the entire time, but rarely got to the level of bushwhacking. S...

0.5 miles of brushy trail from the wilderness sign up towards Cruikshank Camp. Otherwise in great condition. Super beautiful and diverse trail.

Brushy from Cruickshank to Buckeye Camp. Lots of poison oak. Gorgeous trail. Worth every step.

Date Hiked: February 5, 2022 General Condition: Clear (no obstacles and tread well defined) Went the entire length of the trail. Not quite as "Wilderness Freeway" as the Pine Ridge Trail, but pretty close. Tread had a little more grass in spots, and some very slightly brushy sections, but...
