Big Pine Trail Survey - 07-07-2021 - by Andy L

Link:	Big Pine Trail
Date:	07-07-2021
Surveyor Name:	Andy L
Trail description:	We hiked the Big Pine Trail from Los Padres Reservoir to the upper headwaters of the Danish Creek on 7/2/21. Water still flowing pretty strong in Danish Creek, even at the Big Pine Trail's upper terminus. Some sections of this trail have largely disappeared, including many steep inclines and declines on the side of mountains. We would've gotten lost had it not been for CalTopo and GPS. Much of the trail is overgrown with thick, spiny shrubs and trees. Towards the end of the trail, one must be prepared to wade through very scratchy vegetation, including poison oak, in order to find the path. No clear intersection of trail with Danish Creek. Feel free to email me if you have any questions.
Mode of transport:	Hike
Trail condition:	Hard to follow
