Distance: 1 mile
Difficulty: Easy

Just as the name implies, this trail is actually an old road that has been recycled for trail use when the new Rancho Santa Fe Road alignment was constructed and completed in 2003. One of the least difficult trails in the Villages of La Costa, it affords linkages between the older neighborhoods of La Costa and the newly developed communities of the Village of La Costa’s The Oaks communities. The north end of the trail ends at Fire Station 6 which also affords a great view out to Batiquitos Lagoon and the Pacific Ocean. An interpretive sign at Fire Station 6 provides information on wild land fires and rests on the site of the Harmony Grove fires which swept thru the area in 1996.
