The trail starts from the intersection with Willow Canyon Trail and heads north, paralleling Laguna Canyon Road. Hikers will pass coastal sage shrub and interesting wind and water eroded caves and rock formations. At about 0.2 miles the trail turns away from the road and heads northwest into Laurel Canyon. The trail ascends the canyon through oak and sycamore trees along a creek and ends at 1.6 miles at the intersection with Upper Laurel Canyon Trail and Laurel Spur.

Laguna Coast Wilderness Park is part of a system designed to protect endangered species. Some of these are the Cactus Wren, California Gnatcatcher, and Orange-Throated Whiptail.
The park helps to protect the diminishing coastal sage environments.
