Rim Trail via Olmstead Loop Trail

Last Updated 6/27/2023


Enjoy this 8.2-mile loop trail near Cool, California. Generally considered a moderately challenging route, it takes an average of 3 h 11 min to complete. This is a very popular area for fishing, hiking, and horseback riding, so you'll likely encounter other people while exploring. The trail is open year-round and is beautiful to visit anytime. This trail features plenty of pleasant, rolling terrain. During summer, the ground is dry and Oak Trees are lush and leafed out. Users note that this trail is nicest in spring and fall, when temperatures are lower and bugs are fewer. During winter, beautiful green grasses and naked Oaks make this a more muddy experience. Bring your drinking water. Dogs are welcome, but must be on a leash. Parking lot located behind the Cool fire department. There is a parking fee, bring a pen to fill out the envelope.
