Sunday Morning Trails
Leader: Ryan Vieau
Location: Parking lot at 13333 Black Star Canyon Rd. (free)
Directions: From Santiago Canyon Rd, turn onto Silverado Canyon Rd., and then make a left onto Black Star Canyon Rd and take it to the end for driving, up to the parking lot.
About the Run: From parking lot, the run starts by continuing up Black Star Canyon road. At 0.6 miles, turn right onto a mainly dirt road. At 2.4 miles from start, turn left on the fire road (we are not heading for Black Star Falls which is a single track, rocky trail). Then, go out and back as far as you want. The trail is only a gentle slope and “easy” up to the 2.4 mile point and then it starts getting steeper. It is all-up on the way out and all-down on the way back. Pretty views!
Most people will go shorter, but if you are feeling ambitious, you can run out 8.15 miles out to Beeks Place and the Doppler Ball for 16.3 miles roundtrip. Carry water, there is no water/restrooms on the trail and do not leave valuables in your car.

Go past Turtle Ridge drive and turn left into driveway on the North side of the campus.

We will meet in front of the Chapel. Bathrooms are in a nearby Building 3.
About the Run: This is a modified Quail Hill Loop in reverse from the Mariner’s Church. The standard run is 10 miles but can be shortened or lengthened.
Detailed Description: Leaving the Mariner's Church parking lot, turn right onto Bonita Canyon Road. At the second light, turn Right onto Shady Canyon Road and continue the Quail Hill Route in reverse, with the exception of crossing the 405…DO NOT CROSS THE 405 unless you want to make the run longer. Instead, continue on the Shady Canyon bikeway trail on the west side of the freeway. This merges with University Trail (it’s all one continuous trail, two different names). After you pass the Tanaka Strawberry Farm you run into Ridgeline. Cross the street (obeying walk signals) and go left. Within 100 feet on your right hand side, the University trail continues through an urban park with lots of concrete and tall grass. The trail drops you off onto Culver (which turns into Bonita Canyon Road). This will be a gradual climb all the way back to the Farmer’s Market. Turn left just past the signal at Anteater into the driveway for Mariner's Church. There are water and/or bathroom stops at Bommer Canyon parking lot, Quail Hill parking lot and where the University trail meets Culver (Water only).
Another option is to detour to the Turtle Rock Loop at the ~2.5 mile point. The Loop is about 4 miles for a total of 9.
