Good to know
The map distinguishes paved road, dirt service road, multi-use trail, and hiker-only trail but does not itemize the exact composition, grade, cross-slope, width, wet crossings, or barriers of every loop segment. Paramount Ranch construction, filming, or permitted events can alter circulation, and developed grounds are closed sunset to 8 a.m. Check current alerts before leaving.
