Heading west from penasquitos at at Ridgewood park, you'll start on single track until you get to Black Mountain Road. There you cross the road to the wide multi use with foot only single track off to the side(the real choice). It's flat to the west, hilly, rolling up hill to hwy 67 if you go east. Note you'll need to cross a cement pad that normally has creek water running over it making that small section very slippery due to the algae on it. You can cross dry just on the down stream side by picking your way over the dry rocks other hikers replace after rain raises the creek flow.

My morning commute. Every morning is different. Coyotes by dusk, deers by dawn. I saw a mountain lion ones, close to the 15. The trailhead is an easy place to get into the PQ canyon (without having to climb). Those February days the canyon is a total mudpool, but even that has its beauty. East as well as west from here there are nice single tracks for mtb or walking. If you want you can reach the 76 (east) all the way offroad; far and hard, good suffering, but doable.

I would bring pepper spray if you're going alone. Just to be safe :)

Up to you the tail goes to the ocean if you head West. I think it 9 miles to the ocean. You come it at Torry Pines
