Silverfish Truck Trail

Post by **Taco** » Sat Jun 13, 2020 12:25 pm

anyone hiked its entire length recently? Looks super brushy in the east, not so bad in the west. I hiked from 39 up it to the ridge top, which was awful. Lots of hard bushwhacking and crawling. Didn’t continue, as we meant to explore a Canyon, but ran out of time.

If anyone hikes this whole trail they deserve some sort of statue commemorating the achievement.

I will do it, and then my statue will be torn down by people who didn’t hike it cause they found out I made fun of fat people before so I’m not pure enough for them. Then, extinction level event hits reset button, and next apex tool user species has a lot of first ascents to do.

Walked part of it from the Morris Dam side last week. It looks like the forest service or the fire department has done some fairly recent maintenance. It's a lot easier than it used to be to get through from that side.

I'm looking forward to reading of the first parrot ascent of Monrovia Peak in the next issue of the American Alpine Journal.

EDIT: Oh, yeah... I Want A Parrot

What does this mean? They cleared it with a dozer?

Definitely not with a dozer. They just cleared some of the brush out. It's still a trail.
