Horn Canyon Survey - 05-07-2022 - by Anonymous Surveyor

Link:	Horn Canyon
Date:	05-07-2022
Surveyor Name:	Anonymous Surveyor
Camp Description:	For the first 1.5 miles or so from the Thacher School trailhead, until shortly after the trail leaves the creek and canyon bottom, the trail is good and maintained. After that, all the way to it’s end at Chief Peak Road it has become completely unmaintained and without exaggeration almost impassible and unfollowable in many places, dangerous with the state of the trail tread, rock impediments, and vegetation growth, and requiring major work to put it mildly. With all the regeneration after the Thomas Fire in 2017, it's reverting to wild land that won't be usable at all in a short time. Also, The Pines camp is completely overgrown, in very poor shape, and should no longer be considered or advertised as a camp.
Water Source:	Flowing
Water Source Details:	Flowing only in the creek at the bottom of the canyon. Dry once the trail leaves the creek after 1.5 miles or so.
Weather Conditions:
