Champagne

Champagne is a short trail through the Laguna Hills that continues southeast after the Picnic Table Trail. The trail is almost a mile long, and overall gains a hundred feet of elevation as it rides along the ridge line on these flowing desert mountains. It constantly goes up and down small hills on a dirt surface mixed with small loose rocks. The trail is narrow and exposed at times as it sidehills along the hilltops. There are sometimes bigger embedded rock surfaces in the trail, but no major obstacles. The trail is lined with cholla and other spiky cacti that you’ll want to watch out for. The south end of the trail is at a wooden bench at a viewpoint overlooking the Laguna Hills.
