Land OwnerNational Park Service
Estero trail starts immediately after you leave the FREE PARKING area, it then heads downhill into the Pine trees where it's a bit loamy, cross the bridge over the water and start your first climb that winds along the water. There are multiple climbs throughout the trail, sometimes you will be met with a cattle gate due to the free roam cattle on the land.

Checked with Ranger. Mountain bikes are allowed.
Tonymosa
Can anyone confirm if the Estero trail is ALL officially NO MOUNTAIN BIKES? Or is it OK to still ride to Drakes Head?
Tonymosa
Trail is closed to bikes at the 4.1 mile mark. Trail map needs to be updated.
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
