Itinerary description
|
Italian version at the bottom.
Loop of Butano State Park, starting from Visitor Center and reaching Butano Peak. This loop is considering today Trails condition partially closed due to the CZU Fire. Please refer to the website before taking this tour.
This tour can be done also using different Trail as an example hiking Butano Fire Road and returning using Olmo Fire Trail.
Today hike used:
- Six Ridge Trial in perfect condition
- Mill Ox Trail, just half, good condition
- Jackson Flats Trail, partially affected by wildfire, restored.
- Butane Fire Road, perfect condition
- Indian Trail, good condition, partially affected by tree fall couple over night
- Doe Ridge Trail, good condition
- Ano Nuevo Trail, good condition.
5% of the Trail is covered by Cellular signal.
This loop should be considered Strenuous Hike in general terms of California State Park
***********
Some clarifications for those who tackle this route without basic experience of the area:
- find out about the state of the park before leaving, closures and more.
- bring water, drinking water is not available due to fires
- check the weather conditions, the weather is very changeable during the day and from the base to the summit, nothing dangerous but it can be unpleasant.
- download the map on your phone, little connection on site less than 5% only on the top part. Use paper map, measurements in miles, 1 mile 1.6 km.
- bring cash, entry to the park is self-service, the money must be placed in the envelope at the entrance.
This is the order of the paths tackled today:
- Six Ridge Trial in perfect condition
- Mill Ox Trail, only halfway to the junction with Jackson Flats Trail
- Jackson Flats Trail, quite degraded by fires, but restored.
- Butane Fire Road, perfect condition
- Indian Trail, good condition, some wreckage at night.
- Doe Ridge Trail, good condition.
- Ano Nuevo Trail, good condition.
Find the map in the first waypoint for more details on Closed Trails.
The route is free of any risk, easy to follow, I had to label it as moderate using the California State Park scale, perhaps it should have been difficult.
This park is less affected by fires than the Big Basin and is therefore preferable.
