Rode with state park employee and escorted to trail head at Corral Canyon. Escort required due to fire closure of road to public. Began hike to assess fire damage to Mesa Peak fire road down to Piuma parking lot along Malibu Canyon Road.
Feet worked: N/A Crew size: 2 Hours worked: 6 Total hours: 12
Comments: This section of trail covers about 5.7 miles. We performed an assessment of trail conditions after the recent Woolsey fire. A fire crew apparently worked the entire fire road portion smoothing the road with a dozer. There were 3 downed trees/limbs on the edge of the road which need clearing at some point but isn't a priority at this time. The first tree is about one mile from Tapia. The other two trees are about 1.7 miles from Tapia. We hand sawed several limbs of one of the trees which were blocking the edge of the road. Apparently a fire crew chain sawed other trees and cleared from road. Otherwise the road portion of Mesa Peak is in great condition. Likewise the trail portion where it leaves the road going down to Tapia is in good condition and needs no work at this time. Unfortunately the kiosk at the trail head at Corral Canyon was destroyed by the fire and needs replacing. The picnic table was not damaged.
