Ringtail Cat Trails head  to Eagle/Vail Pks Hike (+ options!)
           (6.2 miles +1700  plus short option up Ringtail Creek Tr. at turn #1*)

1) From end of Hemme Dr. TH –Start  up Ringtail Cat Tr. .4 to junction

2) Continue  on Ringtail Cat Tr. .36 to another junction on left that comes from Horse Pk

3) Continue straight .59 to junction of Madrone Tr. And turn LEFT on Madrone. ( PS -if turn Right it takes you back to Rossmoor in about 3 or 4 miles past our Picnic Table!).

4) Go .56 on Madrone to Corduroy Tr. And turn right. (if you turned left it would take you on another fun 3 mile loop via Virgil Williams Tr./Madrone back to here, makes a 6.8 mile loop from Ringtail but less elev gain)

5) Continue up Corduroy Tr. 1.4 miles (about half way up road turns to single track up a hill. Great trail!  Continue To  Eagle Peak Bench at trail post on left, then 30ft up to end, and bench., next on 200 yard to Rocks at Vail @ 1800 ft.  both good lunch spots. (or back to where fire road ended bluff.) (OPTION for reference: can continue around from here round to right a little over 1 mile to Las Trampas Pk. Then back down Las Trampas rd. to our table, another mile)

6) From these two peaks, return back down Corduroy Tr. To Madrone then left back Ringtail Cat etc. to start trail head.                                                                          *(Suggested option on way up/ back, find unmarked Ringtail Cat CREEK trail off to West about ½ mile from trailhead, and in good weather, take it in then back out CROSSING the creek many times, it goes about a mile then dead ends into Box C.)
