Southern California → Cedar Creek/Fishbowl Loop Trail hike

Did some hiking on the Cedar Creek/Fishbowl Loop trail yesterday. This trail is a 15 mile loop with both trail heads located about 2 miles apart on Grade Valley Road (aka forest service road 7N03), which is a crappy dirt road in the middle of no where running North/South in the Los Padres forest.

I started at the Cedar Creek trail head with the intention of hiking to the Cedar Creek campsite (a little over 2 miles in), and then on to the Fishbowl campsite (about 5 miles in) and then turn around and head back as opposed to hiking the entire loop.

The trip took longer than I thought, and I didn't quit make it to the Fishbowl campsite before I had to turn around and head back due to time constraints (I always let someone know where I'm going, and I told them I would be back by 5pm).

Anyway, I really like this area. I absolutely love deep back country forests full of pine trees.

Here's the trail head...
