Technical Notes
Short, steep climb to a paraglider/hang glider launch point with great views. Watch paragliders launch on weekends. Trail is well- maintained with switchbacks but gains elevation quickly. The Chirico Trail is the shorter, steeper option; the High School Trail is longer and more gradual.
