Rubio Canyon Watershed Trail Conditions

Lone Tree Trail up to the power lines is in great shape. From the power lines up to West Fuji it felt similar as always with the contour around the peak having that short sketchy portion which is more comfortable going up then down by the drainage. From Fuji up to Panorama the route is clear and evident, I don't think this route has ever been worked and with the steepness it would be a major project to make it anything other than what it is. Castle Canyon is in excellent condition and is one of my favorite section of trail in the San Gabes. The connector from Lowe Sam Merrill to Rubio shows definite cutting throughout and trail work on the lower section. The upper section has erosion which is significant in one spot but the trail is still easy to negotiate in that section.
