Arnold Rim Trail from the Logging Museum to Avery Sheep Ranch Road in the San Antonio Creek drainage as of May, 2021:
There are many trees down across the trail that we are actively working to remove. The Sunset Loop Hike to Cougar Rock has only five or six trees down on that four mile loop, and the trail from the Logging Museum to Post 8 is completely clear of downed trees but from Post 8 to 9 there are many trees. If you wish to go to the Falls Overlook from the Logging Museum, hike to Post 8 and turn left on the Arnold Rim Alternate Trail. Take that trail to the post that directs you to turn right and hike down to the Overlook.
Be sure to download the Avenza maps to your smart phone before you go. See the home page for information on how to do so.
Arnold Rim Trail from Avery Sheep Ranch Road to the Heliport in the San Domingo Creek drainage as of May, 2021:
The Arnold Rim Trail in San Domingo Canyon is open and well signed. Poison Oak is just starting to encroach a bit on portions of this the trail so wear long pants, but this is a great time of year to visit this beautiful remote six mile trail if you haven’t already done so. It is rarely visited but it is calling you.

The Arnold Rim Trail Association has an active docent program. Docents log more than a thousand hours of trail patrol per year. When they finish a patrol they file a report which includes updates about trail conditions. This page draws on this extensive database.
Our goal is to keep this page updated so you may enjoy the trail. That said, there may be a lag between real time conditions, like trees down across the trail and other issues, that may not be included here. If you find an issue on the Arnold Rim Trail, or any of the Forest Service Roads or other connecting side trails, please send us an email at info@arnoldrimtrail.org. We can place the problem on our list of needed fixes and also post it here. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
