I had planned on doing the ~12 mile James Irvine/Miners Ridge/Fern Canyon loop this week, but it looks like that is a no-go since one of the stairs are closed for reconstruction between James Irvine & Fern Canyon.
I'm not sure I trust my Honda Fit to make it across the potholes & stream crossings to get to the Fern Canyon parking.
Thinking about timing, would it be better to do:
- A 14 mile out and back to Fern Canyon via Miners Ridge, or
- A 8-10 mile romp around James Irvine & Miners Ridge?
In other words, I can either do James Irvine or Fern Canyon. I can't do both. Thoughts?
