Gravel road along a ridge line from Jacks Road, passes through Laguna Seca's Lookout Ridge parking lot to end on Barloy Canyon Rd. There is an old feed trough west of the trail. The trail climbs, traverses then descends two small mesas which I am inclined to call, "the two brothers" to complement "the three sisters" on Trail 10. Nice view of the ridge.
Blue Circle Multiuse road. Bi-directional use: Bicycle> Horse>Foot
