Stone Ridge Trail Survey - 05-30-2022 - by Joel Bockhahn
Link: Stone Ridge Trail
Date: 05-30-2022
Surveyor Name:Joel Bockhahn
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. 
Mode of transport:Hike
Trail condition:Needs some work
Condition details:Trail from Vicente Flats to Goat camp was pretty rough
