Quiet and Challenging

We did a backpacking trip from Johnsondale Bridge down to Fairview Campground following the Rincon trail in May.

It was hot but the views and the quietness was beautiful! Be prepared with lots of water and food. The trail from the bridge to the campground is approximately 16 miles total but it is mostly exposed and with lots of chaparral and little water.
