Description

This straightforward fire road heads into the Rancho La Costa Preserve and ends near the water tank. Most commonly, it's ridden as a short connector between the trails that access the top of the ridge and the 360-degree viewpoint.

To the right is the start/end of Switchbacks. To the left is the start of Nascar (aka Drop Down Trail as indicated by signage).
