Trail
This trail is a single track throughout. It originally went around in a Horseshoe but the section of the trail on the east side is not as maintained as the west side. The trail meanders around 3.5 miles to the San Joaquin River. There are cattle ranging in and around the trail so be aware. In the Spring the wildflowers are abundant. It is best to hike this trail from the Fall to Spring as it gets too hot during the late spring and Summer. It can get busy during the spring when the wildflowers are blooming.
