Route Details:
Union Creek flowing through Phleger Estate
- 0.0 mi: From the south end of the parking area, head downhill on the Bay Tree Trail.
- 0.7 mi: When the trail ends, take a hard left onto Richards Road Trail. You will follow Richards Road as it gradually climbs for the next 0.9 miles.
- 1.6 mi: Veer right onto Miramontes Trail and enter Phleger Estate. You will follow Union Creek on a beautiful singletrack trail for the next mile.
- 3.0 mi: Turn right at the intersection with Mt. Redondo Trail, head downhill briefly, then turn left onto Raymundo Trail. Get ready for some steep climbing!!
- 4.6 mi: Just after the Raymundo trail flattens out, turn right onto Lonely Trail for more climbing!! (You didn't think you were done, did you??)
- 5.2 mi: Pass the first bench.
- 5.5 mi: Pass the second bench.
- 6.1 mi: The trail flattens out and reaches an intersection. Turn left to continue on the Lonely Trail. (Note: If you want to get water at the Kings Mountain Fire Station, turn right at this intersection. In 0.1 mile you will see the fire station, and there is a water hose out back. After filling your bottle, retrace your steps on the Lonely Trail).
- 6.4 mi: The Lonely Trail ends at Richards Road Trail. Turn left (downhill), then immediately turn right onto the Skyline Trail (singletrack).

- 7.1 mi: Turn left onto Chinquapin Trail, and start an awesome 3-mile descent!
- 8.9 mi: CONFUSING INTERSECTION! The Chinquapin Trail runs along the left side of Archery Fire Road. Stay left on the singletrack and then around a left-hand switchback. The Chinquapin Trail will then end on the Dean Trail (fire road). Cross the fire road and take a sharp right on the Dean Trail singletrack doing downhill. If you find yourself on a fire road, you went the wrong way! You will now follow the Dean Trail all of the way to where it ends on the Crystal Springs Trail.
