Description

This trail begins opposite Cold Spring Trail - South from Camino Cielo. Begin with its descent for nearly two miles of fun switchbacks to Forbush Camp meadow. From here, stay north for a short hike-a-bike climb, after which you'll be rewarded with a further 1.5 miles of descending amidst fossil-laden rocks and ridge lines. Cross the Santa Ynez River, and take the trail to its terminus along Romero Camuesa Road.
