Description

The trailhead begins next to the parking area. Due to development the eastern portion of the trail no longer exists. There was a fire here in April 2014 which damaged the area to such an extent that the trails were bulldozed into fire breaks and utility roads. This trail is a doubletrack dirt road until the highway overpass.

Seemed like a car sized dirt road that looped through some neighborhoods too. Started from the park near Black Mtn and CV Rd going N-W-S-E. Hills. 10mi — 1h 40m
