Shipwrecks, reef and colorful fish set the sub-surface scene off of Costa Maya, but venture on to dry land long enough to see nearby archaeological sites and crocodiles.
The trail traverses areas of Jeffrey Pine, Black Oak, Coast Live Oak and extensive stands of mixed chaparral. The trail connects to the Pine Mountain Trail and to the East Mesa Trail at the boundary of Cuyamaca Rancho State Park.
The Trail is not Passable to pack and saddle stock beyond the Pine Mountain Trail junction (until the East Mesa Trail is reached).
