This mile-long trail is the perfect mix of serene woodlands and panoramic Bay views as it weaves through coast live oak and beautiful flowers, especially during spring. Keep an eye out for a charming trailside waterfall about halfway through the trail, as it may be visible when water levels are higher. Dogs are not allowed on this trail, so you'll need to leave your pup at home.
