This 8.0+ mile hike will leave from the North County Trailway parking lot and travels over some of the oldest carriage trails in the park. A portion of trails aren't maintained and can sometimes be more rugged than our usual park hikes.

This is a different, shorter route than we will be taking, but it's an interesting description of the area;

And we will take a short detour to the oldest triangulation survey marker in the United States (interesting link, bad spelling).
