• Umbrella Tree: Look for the gravel road signed Umbrella Tree Trail above the ranger residence and follow it up the hill. You’ll pass a short spur trail out to a vista and bench on your left as well as a trail down to a redwood picnic area.
• Continue up the hill to the right for about a mile until you reach the Umbrella Tree and its lone picnic table. You will pass through woodlands of bay and oak, emerging on to open, rolling hillside.
• While the walk is fairly steep with 505 feet elevation gain, it is only about a mile to the top. When you’re ready, retrace your steps back to the trailhead.
