Burnt Pine Trail is a 3 mile less popular singletrack hiking and horse riding trail located near Descanso California. This multi-use trail can be used both directions. On average it takes 14 minutes to complete this trail. The top of the trail is a very wide, graded road, but it quickly narrows to a hiking path after it passes the Conejos Trail intersection. The trail zig-zags down Cuyamaca Peak to the West Mesa Trail, winding around majestic pines and ducking through tall shrubbery. The trail is mostly shady and the grade is generally very easy on this well placed path. The foliage opens frequently and affords wonderful views of the whole area. Bring a camera.
