Leaving parking area take left fork of loop trail. Follow this trail to Cronan Ranch connector trail. Switchback climbing to fun fast descent to the Up Down Trail, left (south) for a short downhill with some steep climbing to the East Ridge trail. More climbing on a mix of fire road and single track back to the Up Down Trail. Turn Left (west) on this fire road head towards Cronan Ranch parking area and you will see the West Ridge Trail climbing to your left. Ascend this fire road to single track on the exposed ridge. Great downhill riding along the ridge takes you back down to a fire road leading back to the Up Down Trail and back to Magnolia Ranch. Trail is hot in summer but views are amazing.
