SANTA HELENA TRAIL DESCRIPTION

Listen for the stirrings of California Quail, the mewing of California Gnatcatchers in guarded territories, and other coastal sage scrub birds. This re-vegetated trail runs parallel to underground gas and petroleum pipelines that connect Los Angeles to San Diego (not visible) where white ceanothus, white sage, and bush mallow flourish. In summer, this trail provides access to the Stonebridge trail (not in winter due to periodic flooding).
