Land OwnerCity of San Diego
Single track connect between Tecolote marker #7 and #8. This trail cuts out the steep dirt road with some single track. A couple rutted sections that don't do well in the mud make this a bit more than easy to ride. A couple punchy sections, but way better than taking the big wide double track trail.
