Description
Park at the end of Viewridge Rd. and the trailhead will be on the right. The trail descends into the canyon, and after you pass the bridge, you'll have a short ascent towards Santa Maria Ed. The trail is well-maintained and has a gentle grade throughout its length. I'm guessing in end of winter and beginning of spring there is some water in the creek.
