    BLM California - Fort Ord National Monument

CYCLIST NOTES:
It starts out with a couple rocky bits and then winds through Manzanita and Oak along the hillside until a steep section that turns through two trees and then continues dropping down the hillside. After winding down the hill a bit more through the oak trees, it dumps out the bottom onto the road.
NOTE: This trail is popular with trail runners and pretty tight with limited visibility so watch around the turns.

NATIONAL MONUMENT NOTES:

The trail is two-way directional, and cyclists must yield to all other users; hikers/joggers must yield to equestrians.
