This is a beautiful route in the Pacific Coastal Range of California that is extremely popular locally and is in a reserve managed by the University of California, Davis. After a brief flat start there is a steep climb with switchbacks up the majority of the almost 1500 ft elevation gain to the ridge where there are excellent views of California's Sacramento Valley on one side, and Lake Berryessa and the Pacific Coastal Range on the other. The trail travels along the ridge with occasional rock scrambling as it goes up and down over small crests in the ridge.
