Hike the Mushroom Caves

The trail begins at the end of North Rios Avenue, there is plenty of parking, but on sunny, weekend days, it may be a tad crowded.

There are 2 trails to start, take the east one that follows the lagoon towards the freeway, the Pole Road trail. You will follow this for about 3/4 of a mile. You will see a trail (not super obvious) to your right that branches off and has a "no trespassing" sign...this is where you go. Follow the trail all the way back until you come to multiple high stratus walls made of sandstone.

From here you can pick 3-4 different "caves" to explore and different hallways/ caverns to travel through as you work your way to the top of the hills and see the amazing views. Again, there are multiple routes to take, so you can spend a few hours here walking around, trying different paths and seeing where it leads you. Great for an afternoon hike to see the sunset.
