Description
This trail follows Rowell Ridge and offers spectacular views of the San Antonio Reservoir and the Tri-Valley. Murietta Falls Trail is to the left after 500 yards. Continue straight and descend steeply for about half a mile. Several old cattle enclosures are to your right. Continue further along the grassy ridge and reach a locked gate at the end of the trail.
