Wouldn't want to be in here when it's raining, but on a clear day it's enjoyable and even approaches being wild. (Photo by upfreak)

very scenic dirt hiking trail. No much difficulty though. And the loop is pretty short if your trying to stay away from the highways.

A surprising amount of solitude and beauty. Went on a rather hot day but hiked mostly in the shade after the first third of a mile in a meadow. Spotted a lizard, some fishermen and kids in the creek. But was alone the rest of the time. No paved trails, making it a nice little jaunt into the woods. They say this is the only location in the world where eight different species of oak live together. Drop down into the streambed for a much more interesting experience with cliffs and clear-running water.
