Yerba Buena Backbone Single Track

Description: This is a gentle trail, fairly smooth with no steep hills. It's perfect for novices. From the parking area at the Mishe Mokwa trailhead on the south side of Yerba Buena Rd, head west on the single track for a short distance before it turns around and runs east, generally parallel to Yerba Buena. The middle third heads south and around Yellow Hill, and the last third again roughly parallels Yerba Buena. When you get to the end, at Yerba Buena Rd, turn around and head back the way you came. On the way back you could head up the Yellow Hill Fire Rd spur where there's a great 360-degree view from the top, but that trail is much more steep and rocky than the Backbone single track.

 Directions to the Trailhead (Mishe Mokwa Trailhead): The Mishe Mokwa Trailhead is on Yerba Buena Rd in the Circle X Ranch area and near Sandstone Peak. From the 101 Freeway, exit at the Westlake Blvd and head south. Westlake Blvd turns into Decker Rd. About 5 miles past Potrero Road, turn west onto Mulholland Hwy, then right onto Little Sycamore Canyon Rd. At the Ventura County line, this becomes Yerba Buena, which you follow to the parking area. It's about 4.8 miles from Decker Rd to the parking area.
