Trail Conditions

Divider

On long hikes, be sure to take plenty of water.

On warm days, take more water than you think you'll need.

Consider recent weather conditions.

Don't rely on one observation about trail conditions.

Purify all backcountry water that you intend to consume. Even when purified, consume at your own risk.

Bury human waste and wash dishes at least 100 feet from streams, lakes, and springs.

Trail conditions are collected by park visitors and volunteers.

Dates are highlighted if information is more than 90 days old.

Check with park staff for the latest information. Map images linked here may be outdated. Information on obtaining a current map.

It is your responsibility to check the link above to see if trails are open to bicycles as there is not always someone available to do it for you.

Mount Stakes Trail (Orestimba)4.40H E03/20/22Passable, difficult sections: Found a fallen trail post near junction with red creek road. Beginning of the mount stakes road is not obvious, one need to look up the hill for road cut. Once on mount stakes trail, couple of slides and some dense chamise growth makes the start difficult. As one hikes up, many fallen trees block the road. Spectacular wildflowers display.  Once at the top, the trail post shows the the turn to pinto creek, sign is attached by one nail. Mount stakes trail down to Pinto Creek passable to difficult. The trail is very faint at the beginning and quickly disappears. The route follows the ridge top and is passable thanks to the fire. The right side was burned, and once you stay away from the non-burned chamise, you eventually made it down to Pinto Creek near the waterfall. I found remains of the trail post, melted into chunks of aluminum. (Posted by Sue V702 as reported by Elena V720)

Robison Creek Trail (Orestimba)5.59H E05/27/23The trail was obviously in pretty rough shape and I know it's not maintained, but there were two things I wanted to flag. First, on top of one of the hills at the west end of the valley the scrub (coyote bush etc) is starting to get very thick. Possible to move through now, but at some point it may get too thick to be passable. Second, the turn where the trail comes down from those hills and meets Robison Creek itself is extremely hard to find if you are coming at it from the east. There is a huge gash in the trail that is easy to skirt around but makes it very easy to miss this turn. Anyway, this was a slot where a couple plastic trail flags would be very useful. (Posted by Sue V702 as reported by visitor Martin W.)
