No Hike if it is Raining

Tunnel Road (Spyglass Ridge) to the Labyrinth

Hike begins at the end of Tunnel Road. Three trails begin there: Jesusita Trail to Inspiration point, Tunnel Trail, and Tunnel Road (Spyglass ridge). We will follow Tunnel Road (Spyglass Ridge) up to the Labyrinth.  It is an out and back hike mostly on a fire road. The end of the trail features a rock circle  - The Labyrinth.  The trail is a steady grade with some great views along the way.  The hike is 5.1 miles and has 1,302 feet of elevation gain.  The hike should take about 3 hours. Trail is exposed so bring plenty of water. 

Here is a map of the entire trail. Enter Spyglass Ridge Road and tunnel trail in AllTrails.

Trailhead Google Maps

DIRECTIONS:   From the Mission, take Mission Canyon Road north towards the mountains for 0.6 miles to Foothill Road and turn right.  Drive 0.2 miles to Mission Canyon Road and turn left.  Continue 0.3 miles and bear left at the split onto Tunnel Road.  The trailhead is about 1.1 miles up Tunnel Road. If using GPS, make sure you use Tunnel Road or Spyglass ridge and NOT Tunnel Trailhead or GPS may take you to Tunnel trailhead off of Gibralter Road (miles away).

PARKING: There are about 15 parking spots near the trailhead and they fill up, so below are some additional parking turnouts along Tunnel Road.  Arrive a little early so you get a good spot and/or have time to walk up to the trailhead.  NOTES: 1) All parking areas are on the right side as you drive UP Tunnel Road.  2) There is a turnaround area at the trailhead if you need to drive back down to a parking place. 3) Park with your tires outside of the white line--if you park on or over the line, you may get a ticket.
