Manuel. I met one other man on the trail going in the opposite direction too. Yes, the trail is hard to follow and heavily overgrow. In some spots it appears maze-like, I followed more than a few dead-ends through very heavy brush. I'm no mountain man and I am 57 years old, and found it difficult, but a relatively young trailblazer could easily do this as a day hike.<br /><br />I recommend starting a Molera, mainly because it is mostly overgrown on the Manuel end, and by the time you hit the overgrowth you're pretty much committed to moving on because it's too late to turn back. I always have to start late because I take the 22 bus to Big Sur, so I have to pack loads of crap to camp the night. Having a heavy pack made it really tough to get through many areas, but I nonetheless did it.

I think that it was once possible to get to Mount Manuel from there but that trail has disappeared.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07812702328134261533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5846640104848078718.post-85305087445024407672015-05-29T00:38:45.239-07:002015-05-29T00:38:45.239-07:00Nice pictures.
