Family Friendly There are small pools of water and plenty of shade which attract families of all ages.

Watch out for bikers and other hikers coming from the other direction.

Description

This trail includes quite a large bit of shade coverage from adjacent bushes. There are also three nicely built aluminum bridges in well-shaded areas.

The beginning of the trail starts at the end of a paved access road. During the ascent, the singletrack ends and a wide fire road begins at the Buck Gully Fire Road. The fire road continues all the way to end of the trail at San Joaquin Hills Road.
