Nortonville and Manhattan Canyon Loop - Black Diamond Mines Preserve - 3/5
With Jen, Will and Thomas. Trail heads steadily uphill past an old cemetery on a fire road through grass covered hills. The higher you get the more Oaks, Bay Laurel and Manzanita on the trail. On the way down it is a narrow steep path through a forested canyon with some interesting rocks and trail design. The hills were incredibly green when we were there. We lost the GPS track when we went into the old coal mine shaft.
