This nearly 3.5 mile loop starts and ends alongside the Lakeside Linkage Preserve. The route heads south for a steady one mile climb before easing up to flat and declining terrain. There are plenty of foothill and mountain views throughout the route. Hawks and rabbits can frequently be spotted during the loop. California Historical Marker #425 can be seen along the route. The area is suburban/semi-rural and there are plenty of opportunities to veer off and add mileage.
