Description

Connects Cardiac Hill/Pantoll with Highway 1 near Muir Beach Overlook.

It's no longer easy, fast, non-technical singletrack due to surface erosion and ruts on the trails but perched high above the ocean with awesome views the whole way.

Great views but trail in terrible shape not much in the way of any flow possible - lots of deep ruts.

Dry but NEEDS maintenance. It is the worst condition I have seen it in. Deep ruts, holes and overgrown brush on much of it. Gotta love the views.

Not double black diamond as the sign says- landing too easy. Fun enough but not worth the climb to get there for me.
