When the trail goes through the water... so do you! This was a gorgeous cut through a shallow creek.

Description
This trail is another steep doubletrack trail in SOMO, with great views along the ridge in multiple spots. Once you gain the ridge, however, the trail begins to share a paved road with the Pine Mountain Estates development. This road section isn't too bad though as it feels more like a greenway with good views and nice houses.
