Favorite Hikes
If you start to the right, you will go up a very steep hill...it can be challenging. Keep right most of the way and it brings you back to the parking lot. Bring water, it is about 1.5-2 hour hike.

This provides great views. Can be steep at times with a lot of poison oak. Bring a bottle of wine and sit at the bench to enjoy the view. Good shoes needed for the way down.
