This is a lengthy 3.67-mile loop. This route keeps you on the City's multi-use trails, open to runners/walkers, horses and bicycles. Use available curb parking along Camino Del Rancho, off of Lone Jack Road. From there, head down Brookside Lane, make a 90 degree left turn onto Olivenhain Farms Road. To the left, you’ll find a posted trail head and path heading north. Continue along the winding path to Wildflower Valley Drive where across the street, you’ll spot the marked horse trail at Wildflower Summit. On this section, you’ll climb a few switchback turns then hit a junction. Make a left to complete the loop in a clockwise direction. The trail continues straight for a long stretch, past Fortuna Ranch Road before making a 90 degree right turn. Approximately 800 feet ahead, you’ll find a trail entrance to return south toward Country Rose Circle and Fortuna Ranch Road, then Bumann Road, then returning to Wildflower Valley Drive, completing the loop. 

While the route has some hills, the entire elevation gain is only 352 feet, and the surface is even, making it a good hike for adventurous little ones too. Along the way, you’ll pass horse ranches and amazing homes. While shade from mature trees is abundant on this route, water is not, so be sure to bring your own with you to stay hydrated.

The Olivenhain area has many trail segments to explore.
