Description
This is a connector trail that allows for a shorter loop from the lower Sprig entrance. It connects Merry-Go-Round Trail at the 1.7 mile mark, to Ridge Trail at the 0.9 mile mark. Overall, nice and winding through the redwoods and oaks. Great views on the open, brushy hillside stretches.
