What do you plan to do?
Drive to each mission along the El Camino Real?
How much time do you have?

actually there are large sections of the trail that run through more remote areas, and these areas dont see much
foot traffic at all- if any- im interested in finding their rest areas between the missions- any input- thanks- chris

[Mackaydon]

The missions are each separated by about 30 miles; one day's hard ride or a three day walk to the next mission. You might then look near the 10-and 20-mile markers between the missions for possible rest areas.

i was thinking of the area to the east - in the angeles national forest- by the 395- chris

[Mackaydon]

That isn't the area of the ECR. Was there a trail name to the area you're referring?

[calan]

i dont have the map infront of me right now, but i think its the trail to new mexico- ill post the trail name when i get home tonight- chris

[Mackaydon]

Yes, a second ECR trail was also made going west from Atrisco. The western portion of the trail is what colonized Arizona and California. That trail initially stopped in San Bernardino; later, it ended at the city of El Monte.

i plan on scouting the area later this week after i match the map up with my topo and sat maps- i just think the odds are alot better in an area that has remained remote and undeveloped- chris
