Horse Canyon Labrea Trail Survey - 05-25-2017 - by Mike Maki
Link: Horse Canyon Labrea Trail
Date: 05-25-2017
Surveyor Name:Mike Maki
Trail description:This is only for the Horse Canyon and upper La Brea Creek down to Hiawatha. This was part of a Condor Trail section hike. I found the route up Horse Canyon easy, but it was in the creek, thus wet feet. The upper section of Horse Canyon was easy enough to cross-country navigate but there was no trail I could find. Same with going down to La Brea.
Mode of transport:Hike
Trail condition:Hard to follow
Condition details:Unless you consider walking in the creek easy to follow I could not find any traces of a trail
