Length: 10 miles
Elevation Gain: 2000 ft.
Trail: single track, fire road, fire break

The first two miles take you from the Placerita Nature Center parking lot to the Los Pinetos Trailhead via the Canyon trail with only a 250 foot elevation gain. Mile 3 of the trek is the HARDEST with an elevation gain of 700 feet. The 4th mile just goes about to the top, but only has an elevation gain of a bit more than 400 feet. We will take a little-used side trail to add to the adventure.

From here we'll head over to the Los Pinetos radio towers that are visable from the 5 fwy. Next we backtrack a bit, and return via the Los Pinetos trail.
