Family Friendly Rarely steep, not technical. Nice ~3.0-mile loop when combined with the adjacent Lower Monte Carlo.

This is a popular trail for mountain bikers, be alert as you hike.

Description

This trail provides climbing access for mountain bikers and a two-way option for for hikers looking to access the Price Creek and Crown BLM trail system. While it closely parallels Prince Creek Road, the trail is within dense scrub oak often enough that the road disappears. The trail crosses a number of small bridges, and shares a portion of two-way trail and a couple larger bridges with the parallel descending-only Lower Monte Carlo.

Stay tuned as a new trailhead parking area may be approved near the lower end of this trail in 2018.
