Description
The East Fork of the !Bantam Trail begins as it diverges from the main Bantam Trail 4/10 of a mile from the trailhead. From here the trail heads northward along the ridgeline and you'll have views of the Runyon Canyon Park area to the east. After 3/10 of a mile of gradual ascent the trail comes to its conclusion at the end of Astral Drive. You can turn around here and follow the same route to return to the trailhead. Thanks to John McKinney, The Trailmaster, for sharing this trail description. To learn more about trails in California, check out his guides at The Trailmaster Store.
