On Wednesday, State Park trail staff Dale drives the Sweco to the top of Guadalasca. Here it comes up Hell Hill, as seen from the Wood Canyon Vista (Backbone) Trail.

Immediately after the Sweco has levelled the trail, it's pretty rough and loose. We'll fix that in a couple of days!

On the next ridge is Wood Canyon Vista (Backbone) Trail where we worked last week. The light fans of dirt below the trail show where we installed nicks to drain water off the trail. Hell Hill is at the bottom of the picture

An old sign has the name misspelled. It should be Guadalasca, with an "A" at the end.
