The Adobe trail is a gentle trail and is in good shape for hiking and stock. From the trail head you climb up a grassy knoll via switch backs, with a view of the Cuyama Hwy 166 and the trail head you just started from. The Adobe trail quickly drops into a chaparral zone and then slowly into the calm canyon. This portion of the trail weaves in and out of the oaks trees that line this area. Follow this portion of trail along the seasonal creek for about a mile, then the trail starts to climb along a grassy ridge until the end of the trail.

Cooler weather, take caution since this trail does not provide very antiquate shade and this area tends to get very warm during summer months.
