Top Spur-Muddy Flat - Bald Mtn

07/13/2024 sih, cvg Very crowded at parking at trailhead; drive in is sketchy blacktop, single lane in parts, lots of potholes and failing roadbed but okay. Moderate number of people on trails. The flower slope on south side of Bald Mountain was spectacular. Really no good lunch spot from cut-off trail to end at Muddy Fork. 07/02/2020 (sih, cvg) Very nice walk. Starts at Top Spur Trailhead, really busy, 40+ cars; (July 4 long weekend, covid cabin fever?) but trailhead serves several trails. Moderate traffic on actual trail. Initial portion from parking to PCT very muddy b/o prior rain, but okay thereafter. Spectacular wild flower meadow on nearly vertical slope rounding Bald Mt. Stopped at Muddy Fork creek; would have to wade to cross. Looks like trail eventually goes to Ramona Falls, but would have to cross three creeks. Possible to take spur trail to top of Bald Mt., just past kiosk. Note that could take short spur trail just past Bald Mt to go to McNeil Pt. (see Wikiloc Hood-McGee Creek /Top Spur track.)
