Started at Espinosa trail through locked gate. Small parking area just off road. Was sprinkling a little at start time 9am. Cleared up nice later. This is a great hike with beautiful views. Totally worth the effort. After going thru gate about halfway up trail, there is a big 3/4 way split. Do not continue on Espinosa trail. It immediately goes downward. Go right where there if a small old wooden sign “CM”. Trail gets harder here as you enter the tree line but is gorgeous. From here there are several unmarked splits. Use a stick and mark an arrow in the ground so you have an easier way down following the right trail. Enjoy and keep hydrated 😁
