We backtrack on the Conejo Crest trail for a couple hundred yards to get to the trail that will take us down to the White Horse Canyon Trail.

On the Conejo Crest / White Horse Canyon Connector Trail...
|
|
 |
This trail gets rockier as we get to towards the bottom, but the trailwork we did last year to fix the worst ruts has held up well.
|

|
 |
The connector trail meets White Horse Canyon Trail. The latter is no longer a trail because it's been graded out to a full dirt road recently.
