To avoid the pavement, return to Olmo Fire Rd., turn right, and then bear left on Año Nuevo Trail (7.0/1,060'). The singletrack path contours briefly along a forested ridge, then banks right and heads down-canyon via a series of switchbacks. The foliage becomes thick with elderberry and blackberry, interspersed with airy views of the lower canyon. Upon reaching the bottom (8.3/220'), bear right on Six Bridges Trail and proceed along the banks of Little Butano Creek to return to the trailhead (8.8/230').
