Chapter revises Los Padres National Forest map

by Steve Chambers

Continuing in our efforts to provide accurate and timely trail information to local wilderness users, the Ventana Chapter has revised our Monterey District, Los Padres National Forest map. This map, bundled with our famous Trail Guide to Los Padres National Forest, is also sold separately.

At press time it was being printed and will be available in early December. The revised map show the recently-expanded Ventana and Silver Peak Wilderness boundary changes. In addition, we've corrected typos, designated an existing camp, eliminated a camp on private land, and noted a few historic trails no longer maintained (much less findable).

Most of these maps will be folded to fit with our trail guide, but unfolded copies (for wall mounting) will be available at the Sierra Club bookstore in Carmel. Unbelievably, we've kept the map price at a reasonable $4.95. They make great holiday presents. Buy yours today.

Many thanks to Boon Hughey of the Ventana Wilderness Alliance, Chapter Chair, Rita Dalessio, Joyce Stevens, Mary Gale and Steve Chambers for their work on these revisions.
