About this campground

Munch Canyon Trailhead is located on Sunset Valley Road on Figueroa Mountain. This trailhead meets up with several other trails in this general area, including the Davy Brown Trail and White Rock Trail. This trail is very popular during spring, as it produces beautiful wildflowers during a wet year. From mid-July to the end of September, this trail is utilized by hunters during deer season. The parking for this trailhead is very minimal.  There is a turnout directly in front of the trailhead that would accommodate no more than 3 vehicles at a time.
