Description on this route is a bit exaggerated haha, but appreciate the ideas for trails to take on the north side. As a route it's kind of split personalities: some very chill green stuff I'd take a beginner on, and then some steeper very rutted segments I probably wouldn't. Scenic (as most of Fort Ord is)!

We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
