Need to Know

The best way to get to this trail is from Cañada de Pala Trail.

Description

The trail starts at Junction 42 from Cañada de Pala Trail and takes you to the northwest edge of the park. The grade in many sections is very steep and would be extremely challenging to ride in the opposite direction.

The views down the trail are breathtaking almost the entire way. Approximately the last 1.5 miles are on an unpaved road.
