After a summer of minimal hiking I am trying to get myself back into condition so the 10 to 12 mile range hikes are a good choice right now. Nice drive to the trail head, although I had forgotten the steep section down. We crossed the creek to a trail sign and then turned right (left would have taken us to the official start up the trail/road) where we followed a steep faint trail up. After a short bit we joined the trail/road at the top and continued on the trail. Nice area but mostly 2 track road hiking. The tanks we crossed and checked did have water but all the creeks were dry. On the way back to the TH we took the official trail/road down and I would say the faint steep trail is the better choice.
