Description
The steepest part of this trail is over in the first two-thirds of a mile (from the top). From there, this trail descends toward the coastline at a nice grade with access to a number of fun singletracks to explore. This is a popular route because of its access to other trails and views out toward the ocean. Either done on its own as an out-and-back or added into a loop like the Crystal Cove Loop, this is a must for anyone coming to Crystal Cove State Park.
