Hi,
I'm planning to hike section O (Burney Falls to I-5) this June. All the
guide books say it's in bad condition but they were printed years ago. How
is the trail looking these days? Thanks
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I hiked SecO over the last 3 seasons, and it was in good to great condition,
better than the guidebook mentions. It has received quite a bit of brushing
in that time, but it is a very brushy section. It can get overgrown quickly,
if maintenance falls off; but for 2006, it's in good condition, and should
be easy to follow.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Hiking in early June could present snow and route finding challenges from
Peavine Creek to Mushroom Rock to Grizzly Peak, but every year is different.
I did much of this section on snow. Know the snow conditions before you
start.
