Description:

It is one of the our three choices for the hot summer. The trails are mostly shaded under pines, bay trees and live oaks.

We start from the upper portion of this Preserve. We will take our modified route as last time for going downhill with the shorter 2.6 miles Hammer Gulch Trail, then upward back to parking lot with the 2.3 miles Razorback Ridge and 1.5 miles Lost Trail. From our past experience, people can handle this route very easy by this modification. The whole route is about 7.8 miles.
