[Trail] James Irvine Trail [Length (one way) (miles)] 5.1 [Elevation Change (feet)] 250 [Trail Description] 
James Irvine is amongst the premier trails in the park, encountering some of the largest trees and the densest forest. The eastern trailhead is by the visitor center along the Drury Parkway, from where the path climbs gently along the wide valley of Godwood Creek, crosses a low saddle then descends the slightly narrower ravine formed by Home Creek, passing Fern Canyon and meeting the Coastal Trail along Gold Bluffs Beach. Walking south for 1.2 miles reaches the west end of the Miners Ridge Trail, which can be used to form an 11.5 mile loop - perhaps the best all-day hike in the area.
