It is a serene trail that is shaded pretty much the entire way. After reaching the top, the trail becomes a little harder to find but look for the most worn section to follow. The trail will now head down the backside of the hill, where it eventually connects with the Rubicon Trail at an area with a bunch of massive rocks. From here, you should see a plaque for the lighthouse portion of the trail, and after a set of granite steps, you will be at the lighthouse.After getting your fill of the lighthouse, you will simply follow the trail back out.
