Link: Indian Trail Date: 05-27-2017 Surveyor Name: Mike Maki Trail description: Hike southbound as part of a four day section hike of the Condor Trail. Saw three cows. Seems cows and game have helped maintain this trail. I found it fairly easy to follow. Creek crossing had a little poison oak to avoid. Was able to keep my feet dry at all crossings. Pics from this section of the Condor Trail. Mode of transport: Hike Trail condition: Needs some work Condition details: Mostly easy to follow because of cattle and game use. Could use some brushing.
