Trailhead:

Trabuco Canyon- Cadillac

Type of Hike:

Day hike

Trail Conditions:

Minor obstacles posing few problems

ROAD:

Road rough but passable

Bugs:

No bugs

Snow:

Intermittent snow – not hard to cross

Took an alternate route to the peak. Couldn’t pass up another chance to hike in the rain. Steep incline and great views to start, follows by a jaunt through the forest, and then up into the clouds. Snow patches began at 4000’ with solid cover up top.

Here is the link to my Strava recording. I started my Garmin a bit late so there will be about 1 mile and a few hundred feet of gain more. https://strava.app.link/ZyEXhWO5cU

Miri,
I used the beginning part of this route, but went right instead of left once I got to the Main Divide. Strava will have directions to the start of Cadillac trail. Trabuco road is closed at the creek so you will need to cross the creek and walk along Trabuco Rd. for a bit. Hope this helps.
