Description

Starting from China Camp Campground, this trail climbs up switchbacks for about 2 miles until it gets close to the ridge line. The trail then slowly descends along some narrow, slightly rocky singletrack just below the ridge.

It's the start of the upper section of China Camp State Park Loop.
