As an Incident Commander said during an Incident Team meeting for fighting the Ferguson Fire in 2018, “You may know that some of the peaks and gulches in this area have “Devil” in their name. There is a reason for that; the terrain is incredibly rugged and steep.”

Sleuth poster: Here is a video of a hiker doing the Hite Cove trail:

Adding this extra link because additional videos.

Another sleuth' response to video:

Great find. There's actually more than one video there.
Totally the wrong trail to be on in summer. Not at all a trail for beginners. Catastrophic for an unleashed dog (they'd head straight down one of those steeps to the river).

Umm yeah, that looks like a pretty typical california hike so not sure what the point is here. People who think that is extreme must not be hikers.[/quote]

agree - I’ve been trying to say that from the beginning - inland california hikes are rugged and hot. [/quote]

I was expecting MUCH tougher terrain based on comments.

That's not the trail they were on. This is ridiculous.[/quote]

I thought that *is* the first part of the trail they were on? They continued into a second part though, where their bodies were found. [/quote]

I thought so too. If the family took the loop (clockwise direction) like the sheriff assumed, they would have taken the other direction along the river and continues to the Savage Lundy Trail.[/quote]
The trail in the video is not part of the loop. The video is of a moderate trail very popular in spring with wildflower enthusiasts of all ages. There are two trails with Hites (or Hite) Cove in the name, and the one not shown in the video is what forms a loop with Savage-Lundy. [/quote]

Your incorrect information has encouraged new victim blaming. Don't post sh8t you don't know.[/quote]
Except PP is correct.  There are two trails: Hite Cove Trail with a trailhead off Highway 140 near El Portal and Hite[b]s[/b] Cove Trail with a trailhead at the end of Hites Cove Road near Jerseydale.  The second trail is the one the family was on.  The former is a much more popular/accessable trail and the one shown in the video.  At the very beginning of the video you can actually see Highway 140 and the obviously very popular trailhead.[/quote]

I understand there are 2 trails. From what Ive read the bodies were found near Devil's Gulch on the Lundy Savage trail. It is much less friendly that the Hites Cove trail. People immediately started posting that the family was not on an arduous trail and that it was a fairly easy hike. Not true.[/quote]
