Volcan Mountain

Volcan Mountain

Distance: 3.2 miles, loop Hiking Time: 2 hours Elevation Gain/Loss 200′/200′ Difficulty: Moderate

From your car on Farmer Road, hike the gravel access road going easy, and you soon reach the preserves gateway.

An old fire road continues sharply up the hill ahead. Presently, you swing right and continue climbing along a rounded ridge line leading towards the Volcan Mountain crest.

At 1.2 miles up the fire road take the Five Oaks trail on the right and have a rest at the bench at a nice viewpoint.

The remainder of the hike takes you down the same ridge line you came up, only more crookedly this time on the narrow Five Oaks Trail.
When you get back to the main Volcan Mountain fire road, make a left and retrace your earlier steps back down to Farmer Road.
