    Content: The first trip of 2016… After the 2015 holidays with cabin fever setting in my brother and I were anxious to hit the trail to get some fresh air and miles under our belts. After brief discussion and a break in Calfornia’s wet El Nino winter we decided to plan a trip on short notice to the Ventana Wilderness. Located in the Los Padres National forest (the northern most of two distinct parks bearing the same name) Ventana Wilderness is a federally designated wilderness area located in the Santa Lucia Mountains along the Central Coast of California. This wilderness was established in 1969 when the Ventana Wilderness Act abolished the 55,800-acre (226 km2) Ventana Primitive Area and replaced it with the 98,000-acre (400 km2) Ventana Wilderness. We planned the trip around an extended Presidents Day holiday weekend and as luck would have it, this turned out to be a great stretch of warm sunny spring-like days in the middle of winter (some may debate whether the term ‘winter’ applies on the west coast). We packed our things and headed out Wednesday morning, February 17th for the 2.5-hour trip south to the Santa Lucia Mountains. While first choosing to enter Botchers Gap and hike the Ventana trail to Ventana Double Cone we instead opted for a loop route that offered new scenery the entire trip. Starting at Los Padres Dam, the plan was to head up Big Pines trail, camp at Pat Springs night 1,  head to Ventana Double Cone on day 2, then hike down Puerto Suelo trail and stay at Hiding Canyon night 3 before heading back the Carmel river toward Los Padres Dam the following day. Day One The morning quickly escaped us as we stayed up late the evening before making last minute preparations and that ‘one last’ gear run. By the time we hit the trail it was 11:30am, not ideal but a beautiful day to start the trip! The Big Pines trail head exists about 1.5 miles from the parking lot. The hike around the dam is easy, primarily dirt roads, and serves as a good warm-up for what’s ahead. By noon we were stopping to take a sip of water, slurp down a Gu gel, and tighten our laces before starting the ascent up Big Pines Trail. The first section of the trail was fairly clear as it wound it’s way though the lower forest and up the gulch. Poison oak was immediately visible although mostly avoidable. After another mile and a half the trail opened into chaparral as we reached the top of the first summit which designated our starting point for the climb up the spine of the ridge for the remainder of the day. The trail was not clearly marked but easy enough to discern for the most part. We didn’t veer off track once on day one which is surprising considering we spent the last 90 minutes of the hike in the dark with headlamps. A day-long climb uphill can be grueling, especially in the heat of the day. While there are some sections that skirt around smaller peaks, for the most part this is an open hike. We took several breaks as dusk settled in we were at least 2 miles from the Big Pine cutoff trail. Time for plan B. We approached what was supposed to be Big Pines camp at 8:30pm. The night was pleasant and cool, a waxing crescent moon provided modest light, but our Tikka headlamps were invaluable. After searching for ways to get through the overgrowth to where Big Pines camp surely should be – we gave up. Later I recalled a blog mentioning BP was now considered a ‘lost camp’ since the fires of 2008. After a few moments sitting in a sloped clearing debating our fate for the evening, Scott mentioned we should backtrack to find a better spot. Good decision – within a few hundred feet we found a relatively flat sheltered clearing amidst downed pines with a fresh water source nearby – camp! This impromptu camp on night one ended up being one of our more favored spots, partially because of the effort and luck it took to get there, but also because of it’s proximity to water, shelter from the wind, and abundance of natural furniture. We slept well, ate well, and enjoyed and relaxed morning getting cleaned up and prepared for day two. A local once said: “Big Sur roughly translated means ‘Poision Oak'” Day Two We can come close to our intended destination Pat Springs on day one. After spending much of the previous day bushwhacking through chaparral and contorting ourselves through gauntlets poison oak, we found the Big Pines cutoff trail and the subsequent VDC trail smooth sailing. We reached Pat Spring’s in no time and stopped to check out what could have been our first night’s camp. Pat Springs is beautiful. It’s located along a clear section of trail easily accessible from Botcher’s Gap and boasts not only a spring water source but one of the most spectacular views from a campsite in the park. From the sign, continue up hill to the right to reach the ridge campsite, or down and to the left about 200′ to the spring. The spring was a bit overgrown with algae but there was plenty of clean water flowing to fill and filter water for the day. Ventana Double Cone trail continues along a ridgeline with great views of the mountains to the west (from Double Cone across to Pico Blanco) and valley of Puerto Suelo and Comings Creeks which feed the Litte Sur river. Elevation gain is fairly moderate in this section of the trail and more importantly noticeable is the lack of posion oak at these elevations. While initially intending to reach Lone Pine camp, as the day drew on we decided to play it safe and find a campsite before dark. Little Pines was quaint and located in a flat clearing but wasn’t compelling enough to cut our hike short. We needed more miles so soldiered on. The next opportunity was two miles ahead, the Puerto Suelo Usecamp. Puerto Suelo Usecamp is located in a saddle between Uncle Sam Mountain (4766ft) and the next unnamed peak (4366ft) on the way to Double Cone. The usecamp is unassuming and offers no views, it’s in fact surrounding by thickets of broom but does however offer a spacious flat dirt clearing with a few dead trees usable for benches and is also the junction of the Puerto Suelo trail. Perfect spot to use as a basecamp for day 3. We did manage to find water about 300′ down Puerto Suelo trail but even after a rainy winter season flow was at a trickle in mid-February. We managed to engineer enough waterflow to filter two full Platypus sacks and also cleared a few horrendous deadfalls along the way as we’d be heading back this direction the following day. For the remainder of the evening we set up camp, ate, and enjoyed a small fire and the solitude of this location. Did I mention quiet? This place is DEAD quiet which was perfect for listening to all the little creatures foraging around the woods at night. Day Three We awoke early and pondered our options over coffee. Do we complete our objective to reach VDC or cut short and head down Puerto Suelo? VDC. This section of the trail was one of the most overgrown. Tons of broom jungle and deadfalls. In places the trail is hard to distinguish and at one point distracted by the view we lost the trail and enjoyed a 30 minute ‘skywalking’ detour (brush so thick you don’t touch the ground) as we trail blazed across a mountain slope to re-connect with the VDC trail. (GPS is accurate but not precise). There are many desert-like sections of the trail and some stunning views in the open sections. We passed a few camp locations that would have been ok but for dragging a pack through heavy brush and up slopes. Between skywalking, lack of hydration that morning, and elevation gain, we reached the summit just in time to catch a breather and re-group. The view from the top is amazing and much worth the journey to get there. After about 40 minutes we started back towards our Puerto Suelo homestead to rehydrate, eat lunch, and break camp for phase two. Puerto Suelo trail is almost completely downhill and only about 3 miles long. Unfortunately it’s also overgrown in many places (not as bad as VDC summit) with the return of poision oak in lower elevations and LOTS of deadfalls. By this point on the trip you’ve mastered deadfalls though. Sit and spin? Duck and swing? Bend and scramble? Climb over. One of the most pleasant aspects of the Puerto Suelo trail is the return of water. Running water and lots of it. About a mile into the trail we found a nice stream crossing offering a great place to drink fresh clean water straight from the Sawyer pouch. This leg would have been a breeze if not for the deadfalls which added a bit of a physical challenge. The trail recently well marked and has also been worked on in many places. The final stretch wraps around a dry canyon then ducks back into the forest as it winds it’s way to Hiding Camp. Hiding Camp sits along the Carmel River and is actually two separate campsites. The first sits at the base of the Puerto Suelo trail and was in a bit of disrepair. The second is about 150′ upstream and offers a large open clearing enough for several tents. Both have amenities (picnic table and firepit) which were a fitting and welcome find our final night. The river flows clean and clear and offers an unlimited freshwater source only steps away. Day Four – “The final leg” The Carmel River Trail is scenic and fairly clear, only certain sections prove uncertain and often trail markers have been placed on the other side of the river indicating a crossing. Of course the most notable aspect? River crossings and plenty of them. In February the river is still flowing well and while it may have been possible to keep dry feet it was not unavoidable. Crossings were fun however and like deadfalls there’s a slight learning curve involved before a particular crossing’s strategy became apparently clear. There are several nice camps along the creek as you get closer to Los Padres Dam and we encountered other hikers again here for our first time in four days. The last section of the trail skirts the hills that surround the dam and offer some interesting narrow hillside sections and great views of the dam itself. Our energy came on strong as we approached the dam and the last mile from the damn to the parking lot. Plenty of folks had emerged to enjoy the holiday weekend. The parking lot which was completely empty on Wednesday was now entirely full. We were pleasantly fatigued from our trek but completely energized by the experience. In all this was a physically challenging, sometime grueling, but overwhelmingly enjoyable trip through some of the most remote parts of the Los Padres National Forest. The weather in February was spectacular and most likely one of the best times to visit before poison oak, ticks, and flies, and heat take their toll on travelers later in the year. In all this was one great trip to kick off 2016 and set the pace for more adventures to come!
