Description

Combined with the Cortez Trail, the Manzanita Fire Road is the shortest and most direct access to San Geronimo Ridge Road. It's a grueling twenty- to thirty-minute climb with short, steep water bars that are sure to exhaust you. Manzanita is great if you want quick access to the ridge or an intense training session.
