Link: Rinconada Trail Date: 06-25-2017 Surveyor Name: Wamp Outdoors Trail description: June 25, 2017 We hiked Rinconada through to Little Falls Spring. Trail was completely clear and looked like some maintenance has been completed in recent months. After cresting the trail, the portion of trail / road is very rutted and loose heading down to LF Springs. NO WATER flowing anywhere - even at the springs. We left the TH around 3pm at 95+ temperatures and went through three quarts of water apiece. Yes, we were dripping! Mode of transport: Hike Trail condition: Good shape and easy to follow Images:
