Land OwnerCity of San Diego
One of the few surviving tunnel trails. It gets its name from the way it swoops through dense scrub oak.
Trail is bi-directional. Always anticipate other trail users.
No horses.
Adaptive Bike Info
This trail can be very precarious in sections. Please exercise caution. Advanced riders only. There is one unmarked ride-around that concerned preservationists keep blocking until we can get signage up. Be sure to take East Deer Canyon for exit. Tunnel 1 is mostly impassable for aMTB
