Post Oak Lake to Ison's Dam

Beautiful but all signs say no overnight and no camping. Not gonna risk getting towed

Don’t follow my route!

Trail is not clearly marked. Hard to find in many spots- more like following an elk trail that’s overgrown . Lots of climbing over rocks and boulders trying to locate trail. As long as you don’t mind that- it’s ok.

Very over grown. Lots of briars and almost no trail to follow. Never would have found our way without the app.

No trail marked

We could not locate the trail head, so we went to the next trail

Beautiful scenery but no defined trail heads

went for trail running. ened up being hald run half scramble. was pretty fun

A friend and I hiked this trail in reverse. Started at road adjacent to old job corp area. Not much of a trail but hiking is fairly easy to Ison's dam. Once we got into Spanish canyon was more of a route than a trail with stickers and bushwhacking to get to Spanish cave. Once we exited Spanish Canyon we worked our way east back to the road rather than going to the post oak dam. I enjoy this hike, but it isn't easy. Wear long pants, good boots with tread, and gloves for dealing with the stickers in Spanish Canyon. A walking stick can reduce the likelihood of slipping or falling. A good winter day is best because of the shrubbery during spring or early fall.

There isn’t really much of a trail where I turned around. Turned into bouldering. Which is fun I just wasn’t prepared for that. Take a friend to be safe. Not really kid friendly as of right now. I would rate this more toward HARD. Nice views though.
