\"Trail<\/div>\n

UPDATE: This blockage has been cleared. <\/p>\n

(The following is out of date; it’s remaining posted for historical reasons). <\/p>\n

Skyline-to-the-Sea Trail is blocked about a half-mile west of the headquarters of Big Basin Redwoods State Park. Fortunately there’s a simple detour: just take the Sunset Trail up to Middle Ridge Road, cross it and carry on. A connector trail takes you back to the Skyline trail about an eighth of a mile up the Sunset Trail. From there it’s on to Berry Creek Falls and the rest of Big Basin’s wonderful interior. <\/p>\n

Note for Big Basin regulars: this is the same blockage that’s been there for a few months; I didn’t do any Big Basin hikes this spring so I didn’t learn about it till last week. I figure a lot of folks do the whole Skyline-to-the-Sea Trail during summer vacation season, so they might want to know what the big deal is when they see all the “trail closed” signs. <\/p>\n

There are plenty of signs and markers along the way. I sneaked up to the site of the blockage: a massive washout that obliterates a chunk of trail and blocks everything with a 10-foot-tall tangle of limbs and forest debris. Don’t waste the steps to walk up there; as the cops say, “nothing to see here.” <\/p>\n

Looks like half the hillside gave way just on the other side of this little bridge. The obstruction is massive and the trail damage substantial. <\/p>\n

After I turned back I got a nice hike in. More on that in a separate post. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
