    Rode this trail on my way back to the truck. The Flow trail is the best trail in the are but it is not listed on this site. The rode is ride and scenic when coming in or out of the wood from the other single track tails in the area.

    Aptos Rancho Trail - this is really part of Nisene Marks and connects with the rest of the legal single track trails that follow the creek until the steel bridge or back across the creek and up the hill to Vienna Woods Trail for more single track or connect into the Aptos Grade Fire Road for more distance.
