DESCRIPTION:

T210 branches off from T222 (5800 ft) and follows a draw as it ascends.  It water is present, the scene is quite pleasant.  The trial then switches back and climbs toward a plateau 6320 ft).  There are multiple cairns on the plateau, but they may be obscured by the oak scrub.  Look for an old barbed wire fence to the north of the trail and hike roughly parallel to it.  The trail then descends toward Aqua Dulce Seep – look for cairns and rows of rocks at trail bends (5840 ft) .  Once past this draw, the trail ascends again.  Look for a 90 degree turn about 0.2 miles from the draw – hiker signs are on a tree.  The trail then ascends along the nose of the ridge to its end at FR201  (6640 ft).

ACCESS:

 To access the lower (north) end of T210, follow the instructions for access to T222.  The carsonite sign for T210 is about 0.3 miles along T222, past the green gate and across the drainage..

T210 begins near FR69, ascends, crosses a plateau, and descends toward Agua Dulce Seep.  It then ascends to FR201.  The middle of T210, near the seep, may be accessed by driving FR227 2.3 miles from FR69 and turning right onto FR5523.  The total distance along FR5523 to the junction with T210 is approximately 2.3 miles.  However, since T5523 becomes narrow and difficult to drive, it is prudent to drive 1.4 miles to a “To T210” carsonite sign on the right, park, and walk the remaining 0.9 miles.
