East Side Trail, Sasquatch Box Springs, and Badfinger Loop

We are spending the weekend in Monte Rio to get a reprieve from city noise. I needed to find a trail that our eight year old could manage, or more accurately, a trail where I could piggy-back him up half the climbs. We’ve already visited Armstrong Woods a few times so I looked on Alltrails and found this one.

Figure 1. A map of California. The path of a five mile (eight kilometer) hike is indicated. About 814 feet (248 meters) elevation over two and a half hours, (one and three quarters hours moving).
