The Castro Motorway is really a connector trail, bridging the gap between the Backbone Trail and Bulldog Motorway. Watch for rattlesnakes that sometimes sun themselves in the middle of the trail.

Running

This trail is called the Castro Peak Motorway but don't think it is paved in any way, far from it. The road runs near the crest of the Santa Monica Mountains connecting the Backbone Trail and the Bulldog Motorway. There are excellent views of the surrounding mountains, especially to the North. The trail is particularly sunny so watch out for rattlesnakes.
