Trail Overlook imagesFall offers dramatic color changes, and blustery winter winds ensure far-reaching views from the peaks along the Autumn Ridge Trail (Caballón El Otoño). In spring, the dogwood blooms, and during summer, when temperatures soar, the peak offers a cool, green retreat.

The trail is a 4 mile trail starting at the campground. On the way to the peak, the last section of the trail is on an exposed ridge. It can be considered difficult, but it does have steps and a handrail. Hikers have a 360 degree view at the top of the peak. Nature enthusiasts will see various trees and vegetation such as chaparral, oaks, and incense cedar.

WALKING is the most popular exercise and recreational activity in California. It’s a low-impact exercise that will help you ease into a greater level of fitness. It also helps to reduce the risk of heart attack, stroke, and Type 2 diabetes, while aiding the management of blood pressure, weight, and stress levels.

HIKING in your state parks is more than just a walk in the park.  It’s an exciting and affordable way to improve your health, and enjoy the magnificent beauty of California.
