Miles and Directions

0.0Start at the trailhead adjacent to the main parking area, behind the restrooms, and head south.

0.1Cross over a seasonally dry creek bed with a limestone bottom. Go up a slight slope to a Y intersection in the trail. Take the left branch, heading southeast.

0.3Continue straight ahead. A path crosses the trail from the left.

0.5Reach a T intersection and turn right, heading southwest. Pass an exercise station and bench on the right, shaded by large live oak trees.

0.7Pass a large open area on the left that contains wildflowers. Residences are in view to the right. Follow the trail slightly uphill, and then make a hard left (south).

0.8The trail bends right and left. Continue to follow the trail, passing a chinning bar on the right, and then bear left (southeast).

1.0Pass by a dozen large (3 feet high by 3 feet wide by 8 feet long) rectangular limestone rocks on the right. Bear left (east) at the end of the large rocks.

1.3Pass by a monkey bar exercise station on the right. The remains of an old barbed-wire fence go for a short distance to the right.
