This hike was so beautiful, so many wild flowers currently, lots of water but. It bad for crossing. A little over grown in areas but not imposible.

We hiked in to Vincente Flat approx 5.4 miles from Kirk Creek trail head. Set up camp and continued 7 miles up to cone peak. There is a section of the trail up the creek from camp which is washed out, we followed Cairns and our app and picked up the trail about 1miles after leaving camp. The creek is last place to fill up water. From there its approx 1.7 Miles of switchbacks to a fire road, 2 Miles on the fire road and then 2.3 on a single track up to the summit.

Timber Top

About 3 miles to the top. Almost up the entire time. Great views. Well marked trail has some over growth from the time off, but the trail can still easily be followed. No water.

Trail Spring Camp Loop via Vincente Flat Trail

Awesome views from cone peak. We did the loop counter clockwise from Vicente flats. The backside from Trail Springs to Vicente flats is very overgrown. There are tunnels of poison oak. Expect to bushwhacked with your rain jacket and rain pants.

The trail was hard to find and we ended up bushwhacking our way up most of the way. Upon researching other maps, if I had to do this again, I'd stay to the West side of the drainage. Once at the top of the ridge the trail was marked again and we found our way to Rainbow Camp just fine.

Tan Bark Trail and Tin House Fire Road Loop

This was hard at times but so worth it. incredible views. Changing vistas from forest to crest to wildflower scrub. It felt like three hikes in one.

Cone peak/Stone ridge loop

Started at highway 1, camped at Vicente and made that our base camp. As of 5/14, Vicente had plenty of water and the trail from H1 to camp was littered with wildflowers. Goat camp, Espinosa and Trail Spring all had water nearby or through camp. The Stone Ridge Loop counter-clockwise from Vicente was amazing. Covered so many different types of terrain ad ecosystems. One of the most diverse I've ever done. It started to get pretty overgrown after we got past Goat Camp, but it was far from un-manageable; a lot of poison oak, so be wary. For us, the overgrown trail made it more fun and unique and interesting but it also slowed down our pace quite a bit. Add at least an hour, more likely two to your normal pace to account for overgrown trail, epic views, and caution for poison oak. Highly suggest doing the trail the same direction we did...I can't imagine going up that section near Goat. BRING BUG SPRAY.
