Jul 15, 2017 Most of Grizzly Flat Road is in fact gentle, nontechnical singletrack. Maps say the steep Dark Canyon Trail branches off of it near the bottom, but I couldn't locate it. When the Dutch Broom gets as overgrown as it is here, the Plantation Rd/Dark Canyon Tr can be difficult to… View Comment

Jun 29, 2017 Mugwort is a natural antidote to Poison Oak exposure you can scrunch up some leaves and rub a poultice onto the affected skin. Just don’t uproot the plant. Recognize Mugwort by the long, serrated leaves and white underside. It's the few plants closest to my wheel… View Comment

May 12, 2017 End of the trail That tree is now a (disintegrating) bench and/or a bushy sapling. View Comment
May 3, 2017 Sunset Ridge / El Prieto Loop from Millard Campground Directions for the splits on El Prieto are iffy. If you always stay to the right, you will follow the origi… View Comment
