Description

Starting from the Rogue Valley Trail, you'll ascend seven switchbacks, each are numbered on the fences so you can keep track of what you have left. Once you reach the summit, there are great views of the bay. Descend more singletrack and into the lush and cool canyon back to the farm.

Weather-wise, this was the coolest part of my day. Plenty of canopy cover with intermittent sun. Photo shows the trail above an overgrown culvert with running water.

At the vista point at the end of the trail, a great view of the South Bay Area comes into view. You can see the communities, bay, and the surrounding hills.
