California’s Condor Trail winds through seven wilderness areas, rewarding intrepid hikers with spectacular nature—and even a glimpse at its endangered namesake
, Sarvis became interested in the trail that was in his own backyard. He estimates about a half of the Condor Trail is on defined trails or roads, while a quarter is on overgrown trails. The last quarter is mostly cross-country routes—some of which host thick stands of poison oak.
Sarvis recommends thru-hiking the trail in winter or spring when rains provide ample water sources that dry up come summer. However, he cautions that heavy rain can make for dangerous water crossings and days of travel with wet feet. He walked the trail both times in the months of March or April, taking 34 days for each trek.,” he says, describing the fields of poppies and lupine that ignite across the landscape like firecrackers.
Sarvis’ guide is a monumental achievement in the Condor Trail’s decades long history that began in 1996, when hiker and software engineer Alan Coles first began working out the route, later extending the trail’s breadth with friend Chris Danch.
