This trail takes you through a diverse forest, showcasing the ancient redwoods, steams, and a sandstone boulder with unique formations. Despite its complex route, the trail is well worth the effort.

Methuselah Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

The Methuselah trail initially continues the wonderfully single track flowing downhill bliss of El Corte De Madera Creek Trail and North Leaf Trail to the bottom at the two wooden bridges crossing the creek, then it climbs back up to Skyline Blvd, initially as a single track, then as a steep but wider fire road to a 4-way crossing: to the left Manzanita and Fir Trails can take you back to Skeggs Parking or just to the beginning of the loop -- where you can do it all again :-)
Or take Manzanita Trail right to Gordon Mill Trail for another sweet loop.
To see or follow the whole loop, check out komoot.com/tour/10597358 or another loop option: komoot.com/tour/13400112
