Trail Overview

This road off of the Camino Real Road is an easy drive, except for a dip with soft sand early on crossing Alamo Creek. There are a couple of mud puddles that had bypasses. For the first 3 miles, it parallels the El Camino Real hiking trail. The road towards the SE end becomes part of the Santa Fe Ranch Recreation Area. Here it joins a paved road that will lead you to the Caja del Rio city street and back to 599. This trail actually makes for a shorter way to get to Diablo Canyon from Santa Fe. Cellular service is limited depending upon location and carrier.

Difficulty

The road is well maintained dirt and gravel. Soft sand when crossing Alamo Creek.
