California classic etched into the side of a canyon that runs through Toro Regional Park from just below Ollason Peak. The top of the trail is very narrow before it broadens out as the canyon ends. A few steep, loose sections and a couple of small creek beds that can be jumped lower down. Generally an excellent and very scenic ride.
