Description

As you approach Big Laguna Lake from the Big Laguna Trail, this trail peels off to the left and then stays to the right. Hug the edge of the shoreline where the lake bumps up against a steep hill. Soon the lake turns into a meadow with an intermittent stream feeding it. As the meadow disappears into the hills, you connect with Sunset Trail, which brings you back to the Big Laguna Trail if you turn right.
