Combined with the Cortez Trail, the Manzanita Fire Road is the shortest and most direct access to San Geronimo Ridge Road. It makes for a grueling climb with short, steep water bars that are sure to get your heart pumping. Manzanita is great if you want quick access to the ridge or an intense training session.
This is one of the few open parts of the trail.
The fire road is smooth and easy to navigate on foot.
