Living along this section of the trail are coast horned lizards, red diamond rattle- snakes, roadrunners, and California and spotted towhees. The trail wraps back around to the north, eventually bringing you to the creek bed crossing and steel bridge. An alternative loop can be made by going straight
along the river corridor at the 0.64 mile mark. In about another 0.2 mile, there is a wooden bridge that crosses the riverbed to the north side. The trail eventually connects to a service road. Although not as scenic, a turn to the right makes this a nice 2-mile loop back to the Singer Lane parking area. Or, if looking for a longer challenge (5.6 miles one way), head south on the trail at the bridge and
