Part of having a successful tour is choosing the tour options that are right for you. Use the table below to choose a trail and hike that is right for you.
Explore California uses its own difficulty ranking when rating hiking trails. Due to the very small amount of trails that require ropes or climbing, we wanted a ranking system that would accurately reflect the level of physical activity the tral represents. Our rating is as follows:
Trail Name | Type | Length | Path | Elevation | Rating |

Andrew Molera Loop | Loop | 8.8 miles | Groomed | 1,100 ft | Moderate |
Cruickshank Trail | Up & Back | 6 miles | Steep | 1,200 ft | Hard |
