I found it to be quite LAME! More like a sidewalk half the time. There were a couple parts that were nice, but it was hard to follow at times. I think it is easier just to take the roads around there because they all have super wide bike lanes. The trail doesn't really pass any lights anyways so you are better off just taking the road. I am thinking of taking the road down to newport, then taking PCH up to the SART and then back home. Should be a fun loop.
