Check out this 3.0-mile out-and-back trail near Cool, California. Generally considered an easy route, it takes an average of 1 h 8 min to complete. This is a very popular area for hiking, mountain biking, and rock climbing, so you'll likely encounter other people while exploring. Dogs are welcome, but must be on a leash.
- Check from head to toe, get yourself light weight stuff. You only need 2 sets of clothes and one more to be left in the car for changing after the hike.
