Description
The trail descends steeply into the woods along the cliffside. At the first marker, you can take a hard right on the Marty's Woods trail to the Pump Pit. Past the Pump Pit the trail curves back. This trail can be steep, rocky, and runs close to the cliff edge. There is an unmarked trail to the right that takes you to the Maccaque Trail. We will do that trail soon and update this description. Going straight at the first marker takes you to the Gnomes' Garden trail. Enjoy the beautiful rock formations and if you are perceptive enough, the nature spirits that live there. This trail is rocky at times, but is fairly level. This trail and Marty's Woods rejoin and lead you to Fisher Park. Marty's Woods trail continues, but it was a bit confusing to us. It is supposed to lead to the Mission Cliffs Loop. We never found it.
History & Background
