Rollin' through the oldies
by HAZ_Hikebot

 
This trail winds through the floor of the preserves following the contours around the mountains and can be taken all the way to Tatum Blvd where there is also a parking area/trailhead. The trail is well defined and easy to follow. There is minimal elevation gain. The trail is heavily used by mountain bikers and pets are allowed. There are connections to numerous other trails in the park.
