Tunnel TrailDistance (R-T): 2-3 miles, depending on where you stop
This trail takes you along a fire road, with nice views all along. You can choose where you want to stop and turn around. From the trailhead, walk up along the paved part of the road. Just after this road turns to dirt, take a right and follow the road through the trees. Take the switchbacks up until you want to stop. Driving directions (from the 101): Take the Mission Exit and drive toward the mountains. When the road ends at Roosevelt School, take a left at the stop sign onto Laguna Road. Take a right in front of the Mission onto Los Olivos Road. At the fork in the road, veer left onto Mission Canyon Road. At the stop sign, take a right onto the 192. After a short block, at the fire station, take the left fork onto Tunnel Road. Stay left. This road will take you up through switchbacks and through a lovely neighborhood. Eventually, the road ends at a private drive. Park on the right (if you can find a spot!) and be careful to stay within the signs. They do ticket up here. The trailhead is up to the right. Also see Inspiration Point, Seven Falls, Cathedral Peak, or Tunnel Trail. |
