COQUINA MINE

Coquina mine was a limestone quarry that was abandoned in 1930's. Today you can find the old rigs and a few mine equipment along the trail.

Also, several fossils can be found but I will not disclose their location.

This is a really cool hike. I did a huge loop around Marr ranch and explored some extra side trails.

To my surprise a portion of the trail was filled with yellow and white Mariposa Lilly's, along with a few other wildflowers such as owl clover, poppies, purple sage, Dudlleya and snapdragon.

Stats: 7 miles, 1400 gain
