**Comments**
The trail from the parking lot to Old Trestle Road is fairly steep but easily doable. Old Trestle North around East Ridge Trail is pretty easy, with only a couple of moderate elevation gains. Take the right off of East Ridge Trail onto the short spur trail past the Table Rock view to connect back to Old Trestle Road, then head back to the parking area from there. This will cut about 1/2 mile from the 4-mile total, and you'll avoid the steep descent from Lookout Rocks.
