White Rock Connector Trail Survey - 04-26-2022 - by Stan Atchison
Link: White Rock Connector Trail
Date: 04-26-2022
Surveyor Name:Stan Atchison
Trail description:Hiked as part of a loop from East Pinery - White Rock - White Rock Connector - Munch Canyon - Munch Cyn Conn. - East Pinery. This was where things started to get a little overgrown. The trail is still very easily identifiable but there is unavoidable poison oak and ceanothus that you must "push-through" No big deal if you aren't prone to oak! Could use some work but still a nice walk. Very tunnel-like under the head high brush at times.
Mode of transport:Hike
Trail condition:Needs some work
White Rock Connector Trail Survey - 02-19-2022 - by Ari Songer
Link: White Rock Connector Trail
Date: 02-19-2022
Surveyor Name:Ari Songer
Trail description:On 2/19/2022 LPFA led a 4-person volunteer project on the Connector. We hiked down White Rock trail from E. Pinery and worked on brushing the East end of the Connector from the junction with White Rock Trail. The rest of the trail is free of brush and easy to follow. Could use some tread widening in areas where there is a steep side slope and the overhead brushing needs work for people on horseback, but overall the trail is in great shape. There was water in some of the crossings. Steep grade!
Mode of transport:Hike
Trail condition:Good shape and easy to follow
White Rock Connector Trail Survey - 04-26-2021 - by Los Padres Forest Association
Link: White Rock Connector Trail
Date: 04-26-2021
Surveyor Name:Los Padres Forest Association
Trail description:The White Rock Connector (29W07) has been cleared a stretch south from the Munch Connector junction, but gradually deteriorates with brush becoming more of an issue as the trail progresses. Toward the eastern end the brush starts to choke the trail. For most of the distance from the northern end a light maintenance pass would put it in good shape, but the eastern part would need serious brush cutting. I ran into one huge ceanothus that had fallen into and completely blocked the trail. It was a mess to cut through and the brush in the area was so thick and tall that it was a struggle to dispose of the cuttings. I did meet two mountain bikers descending this trail. 
Mode of transport:Hike
Trail condition:Needs some work
White Rock Connector Trail Survey - 04-14-2015 - by Meghan Sheen
Link: White Rock Connector Trail
Date: 04-14-2015
Surveyor Name:Meghan Sheen
Trail description:First mile or so could use some very serious brushing. Trail itself is easy to follow but branches make it difficult. We made it through all the way to Munch Cyn. There is water along the trail, as well as a pretty substantial amount of poison oak. Last half towards Munch cyn looks recently brushed. Several burned out widowmaker trees along the route that are pretty unstable.

Also important to note the actual trail mileage is 1.268 (miles), not 2.32 as shown on the popup/title.
Mode of transport:Hike
Trail condition:Needs some work
Condition details:Needs brushing, first mile or so from White rock.
