MORE STUFF NEARBY:

Gato Trail
This trail is gone without a trace, and is only visible on topographic maps dating from before the 1970s.  Even on high-resolution aerial photography, you can find no evidence that there was ever a trail here, except in the lowest portion, which is on private land, completely and irretrievably closed to entry.  The chaparral in this vicinity is old, hard, and impenetrable to anything larger than a rabbit.  I hiked the lower portion last in 1974, and it was overgrown then; I had to trespass to get there. ...(?)The trail actually no longer exists.(?)...
