“A great trail with a tough switchback climb to start followed by a nice rolling downhill along a ridge. ”

Description

Starting from China Camp Campground, this trail starts with a steady climb up a series of switchbacks for about 2 miles until it gains the ridge line. From here, you can catch your breath and enjoy a gentle downhill hike along some narrow, slightly rocky singletrack just below the ridge. The trail connects with the Oak Ridge Trail and ends at a junction with the McNear Fire Road.
