Description
This is a nice downhill trail that can either be accessed as an out-an-back, or as part of a longer loop--the preferred option is to start up the steep climbing Cave Overlook Loop trail system, heading west/southwest at junctions, until you intersect the Twisted Pines Trail. There are numerous mountain bike features on the side of the trail. Most of the trail is smooth and easy, but there are a few rocky sections. Expect beautiful views of both the valley and nearby cliff bands along the whole hike!
