Trail description: | Trail is wide and well maintained until you get to Tassajahara Creek Camp. After that, it is possible to follow but there is poison oak encroaching on much of the trail and it takes some ballarina-ing to make it work. We camped at Tony Camp, near the Tony Trail, which gets you out of the thicket and onto some switchbacks, unfortunately, the hot springs are being managed by a private company and are closed for COVID. |
Mode of transport: | Hike |
Trail condition: | Good shape and easy to follow |
