Description

The C.R.E.A. Trail (which stands for "California Real Estate Association") is about 1.8 miles long and is best taken as an out-and-back option off of the Rhododendron Trail. It is not recommended to start from or try to access this trail at its eastern terminus off of U.S. 101 as there is no parking and the road is dangerous.

Hikers looking to access C.R.E.A. Trail would begin by hiking a mile or more on the Rhododendron Trail. From the Rhododendron Trail look for the C.R.E.A Trail to branch off to the north. On its own, this trail isn't much of a destination, but it is a good option to add-on if you would like to add a few more miles to your hike. There is also a chance to see rhododendron in bloom between May and June which also makes this a pleasant extension.
