 VWA SALMON CREEK Trail Condition Report
The trail is quite passable all the way up to the Coast Ridge Road, but the shrubs are starting to encroach on the sides of the trail and overhead during the last two miles or so.
And finally, the trail is quite overgrown, and just gets worse and worse the further you go--the first mile or so is reasonably passable, but from then on, there are several sections where you almost need to crawl through the brush because it has grown across the trail at the 4-foot level or even lower.
Trail from Spruce Camp to Estrella camp was also passable, although the tread was washed away in a few sections, but easily accessible and almost impossible to lose.
