Today's objective was to assess fire and wind damage to the trails after the recent fires as well as to evaluate drainage and general conditions in
anticipation of the rain season. We began at the Serrano Canyon trailhead and hiked up the canyon. Then proceeded on the Serrano Loop trail through
Serrano Valley and continued to the Old Boney trail, then made our way down the Old Boney (Toe Stubber) to Sycamore Canyon road and then back to the
Serrano Canyon tail. The Serrano Canyon trail is in good condition and did not suffer any fire damage. About 0.5 miles in, there was a large tree
blocking the trail, about 8" in diameter with lots of branches. We were able to cut enough branches with our hand saws to make the trail passable.
At 1 mile we ran into another large tree across the trail, also with a trunk roughly 8" in diameter. Again we cut enough branches to make the trail
passable. And at 1.4 miles, yet again another large tree blocked the trail, and once more we were able to cut enough branches to make the trail passable.
The Serrano Valley Loop trail's southern leg, 2.4 miles from the trailhead, is badly in need of brushing. We didn't see any signs of fire until we got
close to the top of Serrano Valley loop trail. At that point, the Serrano Valley trail coming in from Serrano Valley road has been bulldozed by the
firefighters to cut a 10 feet wide - wider in some parts - fire break all the way down the Toe Stubber to Sycamore Canyon road. Additional Survey
Information: An inspection of the Fireline trail and the Scenic trail from the Sycamore Canyon fireroad did not show any fire damage on either of
those two trails. Total Volunteer Hours: 3 Volunteers x 6.5 hours = 19.5 hours Feet of trail surveyed: 43, 824 (8.3 miles)
