Fun trail that connects Corona del Mar to Newport Coast. Mostly easy flowing singletrack with 3 narrow metal bridges that cross over a stream. Due to easy access from close-by neighborhoods this is a very popular trail for hiking, so keep an eye out for other trail-goers. The trail is maintained regularly, including fixing ruts, sandy sections, and cutting overgrowth so the trail is almost always in pristine condition. As of October 2019, this trail is now one way - uphill only

      		 Nice as always, but a bit of water running across the trail in a few places.
