Haven’t been up the East fork in over 20 years. Was going to attempt to Summit Santa Paula peak solo for a day hike. No really a trail just moving around the river bank which is covered with tree branches and big rocks there was plenty of water. After gettting out of the mud slide area trail was hard to find but was flagged by a fellow hiker (Dan). Thanks Dan I wouldn’t have found it other wise. Made it to Ceinega Campground in 4 hours at 7 miles, water was running. It was just like I remember it. The trail to hit the summit or Bluff camp was over grown. Since I was solo I didn’t want to attempted it. Definitely want to go back soon, I just need a crew. The worst part about was coming back near punch bowls crowded and trashed so sad!!
