Horse Pasture Trail Survey - 04-13-2025 - by Sam GravesLink: Horse Pasture Trail Date: 04-13-2025 Surveyor Name: Sam Graves Trail description: Crossing Tassajara Creek from Marble Peak trail is easy with a shallow wade and slow water. From then on the trail is designated only by occasional cairns and pink tape. The general contours could be followed but there was no clean, obvious trail. Rough going with little maintenance, deadfalls, and a stagnant spring running down the ravine which is crossed and crisscrossed repeatedly. We got close to the Tassajara Cutoff before deciding we were spending too much time navigating and turned back to Marble Peak Trail. Also, for anyone coming from Arroyo Seco be aware that the Horse Pasture Bridge is washed out; you'll need to wade in water that can get deep for some folks (up to my waist and I'm a little over six-foot). Mode of transport: Hike Trail condition: Hard to follow
