Is that one of the new/refurbished bathrooms? From when they had the campground closed for a couple years?

What condition was the Lost Ridge Trail in?

No it is one of the older bathroom. There is a newer bathroom near the northern portion of the camp.

The lower portion of the Lost Ridge Trial was brushed by the San Gabriel Mountain Trailbuilders last year. But the brush can grow back quickly. The upper portion has a few down trees you have to get by but nothing to serious. Note there was a lot of bugs in your face along the trail.
