Mcgill Trail Survey - 05-11-2017 - by Anonymous SurveyorLink: Mcgill Trail Date: 05-11-2017 Surveyor Name: Anonymous Surveyor Trail description: The trail was in great shape with some moisture from recent rain. I started at the bottom and turned around at about 3.25 miles (prior to making it to the campground) so I'd be back at the truck before dark. Great little 2 hour hike. The trail is not very steep and can be ridden up by intermediate+ mountain bikers. As a rider myself I could see that going down on a bike would be epic.

Link: Mcgill Trail Date: 10-03-2015 Surveyor Name: Anonymous Surveyor Trail description: From the trail head this was an elevation gain of 1,760 feet. We hiked and it was a gradual up hill hike. I didn't see any other hikers. Mostly mountain bikers. On the way up there must have been about 20 biker pass us.  On the way down we only had a couple pass us. This is not a trail I would recommend for first time hikers unless you are starting at McGill campground and walking down. Mode of transport: Hike Trail condition: Good shape and easy to follow Images:

Link: Mcgill Trail Date: 08-23-2015 Surveyor Name: Hike Los Padres Trail description: The McGill Trail is in perfect shape for mountain biking, the well built banks on each of the turns allow you to flow around the corners without hitting the brakes. I rode from McGill camp to the trail head on Cuddy Valley Road. If you have not ridden this trail yet, I highly recommend this trail to anyone interested in finding a new Mountain Biking Trail. Mode of transport: Bicycle Trail condition: Good shape and easy to follow
