| Hike Summary: | Begin at trailhead at the end of Forest Rd 107. Marked Trailhead for Big Bonita #36. But this is not the trailhead. It is actually to your right at a steep incline and is not marked but you can see a trail. Proceeded up this trail to cut across trail #38. You will travel about 2.5 miles to this trail. Proceed up Cut Across trail to Big Bonita trail. You have to be careful because this is not marked well. The sign you see will be pointing the other way and say Big Bonita Trail and Aspen Trail. Continue up the mountain and a slight angle. Do not proceed straight which seems correct. Follow this trail to an open Meadow with a sign for Daughtery Ridge trail, Big Bonito, and one other trail. Task the Trail #39, |
