Description

This is the least technical trail at Soquel and it allows you to access the more technical downhill rides in the area (Braille Trail, Corral Trail).

From the parking area, ride east on Highland Way and turn right on Buzzard Lagoon Road, then turn right again on Aptos Creek Road.

You can drop down on any trail to get back to Hihn's Mill Road, where you'll grind back up to the parking lot for another lap.
