Description

This is a fairly easy doubletrack trail that runs along an intermittent stream that gets progressively steeper as you approach Trestle Recreation Area. It has a few open meadows and the remains of an old blue truck. There is an unlocked gate that you must pass through as you return to the recreation area, followed by a small meadow where the trail was difficult to track, so keep the map handy or use the Hiking Project mobile app in case of brush growth.
