Trail description: | The trail to Goat camp was mostly easy to follow, but the trail was soft, lots of deadfall that needed hiking around. There was quite a lot of poison oak on the trail and parts of the trail were overgrown. You could see a lot of damage from the fire, besides the burned trees, the dirt had a lot of ashes in it, so it was very powdery. The trail had some great views and I will certainly be doing it again. Next time with a pair of clippers. |
