Ellie Lane Loop

6 miles, 1100ft ascent(up). Hazards - none.

In the first mile, the trail takes goes up a hillside littered with huge, weathered granite boulders that will remind you of Mt. Woodson, which looms to the north. As you near the top of a ridge, there is a feature known as Table Rock, which looks like a (small) stone table. There is an excellent view of the ocean on a clear day. Previously hiked several times eg.
