QuailBSChina Camp to Pine Ridge Camp
Date Climbed: May 10, 2008

Backpacking trip to explore Pine Ridge Camp area. Went down the Black Cone Trail a short ways and then headed up the mountain. Turned around due to slow going in the immense brush and lack of time (it was evening).
Noted a large Purple Martin colony near the Black Cone/ Pine Ridge Junction.
I will return after the forest is re-open, taking advantage of the scorched brush. Hopefully erosion and winter rain to not obliterate the trails from fire scarring.

Started from Pine Ridge TH. Made it to South Ventana Cone. Lots of bushwhacking, no fun! Then we decided to give up Ventana Cone.

Very nice but very long day hike from Big Sur Station. Bushwhacked up from the Black Cone Trail, but I did a terrible job of route selection on the way down and ended up being scratched and coated in resin and leaves.

Bushwhacked up from the Black Cone Trail, not far from the Pine Ridge Trail junction. Really enjoyed the views.

The route gets a little harder each year as the chaparral grows back that ravaged the northwest side of the peak some five years ago. Trip Report
