A moderate effort, dirt trail that winds through grassland and light woods, with several beautiful Vista points. Easily accessed from a large parking area with restrooms. After a scenic drive on the ridge road it makes a good leg stretcher that is doable by everyone except those who have problems with unpaved surfaces.

Perfect place to start a beautiful Pt Reyes hike! Go early on a hot data as the parking lot and fills up!!

The Rock Spring Trailhead is very near a patch of green rock called "serpentine," which is said to be a power point of Native Americans. Sit there quietly for a few minutes and see if you feel the magic. From the parking lot you can also walk through a beautiful forest along a creek to Cataract Falls, or turn right along the actual Rock Spring Trail and go through a meadow.
