“Doubletrack dirt road with steep elevation changes.”

— James Camy
GPX File — Driving Directions

Overview

Features: -none-

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.

Nice loop. Pay attention to the trail map because it is easy to stray off the trail.
