While the majority of the trail is wide, it is used by equestrians and mountain bikers, which leads to certain portions of the trail being more well worn than others.

At several points in this section of the trail, it splits around trees in the path. You can take either fork as they both end up in the same point.
Even though most of the views are obstructed, you can see Stanford and the surrounding South Bay area from parts of the trail.

The trail climbs back to the junction with the Crazy Pete's Road Trail.
Around .4 miles, the road ends, and you pass through this gate system. The Coal Road Trail breaks off to the right shortly after passing through, while the Crazy Pete's Road Trail continues straight ahead.
A view of this barn and the surrounding hills sits off to the left of the trail as you descend into the preserve. It is closed to the public.
Due to the wet environment, mushrooms can be found growing beside the trail throughout the year.
Views of the San Francisco Bay are often obscured by trees, but you can catch glimpses every once in a while.
