Next, the trail offers access to the Pruneyard, a local shopping center with countless popular chain restaurants, stores, a movie theater, and a hotel. The center also has a large parking lot for hikers entering the trail here to take advantage of. Otherwise, it makes a great break area, for trail users to rest their feet before continuing on, or an ideal stopping point for those looking to end their hike with a good meal or a movie.
