Lost Valley Trail Ventana Wilderness Survey - 04-21-2024 - by Anonymous SurveyorLink: Lost Valley Trail Ventana Wilderness Date: 04-21-2024 Surveyor Name: Anonymous Surveyor Trail description: I tried to hike on this trail from Escondido Camp to Fish Camp (so that I could pass by pothole slide waterfall, near Fish Camp). After hiking 1 mile from Escondido Camp and reaching the arroyo seco river, the trail became very difficult to follow. It was overgrown with bushes, poison oak, and obstructed by downed trees. At no point was there simply soil underfoot, we were hiking over grass and shrubs. At times I was not even sure I was following the original trail. After a half mile of that we turned back around. I think it would be fun to come back with some strong hikers and machetes and clear the way, but that was an effort I was not prepared for this time around. Mode of transport: Hike Trail condition: Non existent
