This is a moderate trail that heads up past Centerville Peak and then follows the ridge behind it above Centerville Canyon. This trail continues all the way to Skyline Road. However, if you stop at the point shown in the maps below, it is 2.5 miles (one way) with a 1,760 ft. elevation change. The trail works itself up the face of Centerville Peak in a steady gradual manner. It crosses below the south side of the peak, but does not go up to the top. From there, the trail levels off as it continues along a ridge straddling Centerville Canyon (to the south) and Parrish Creek (running down the canyon on the north).
During the summer, the sun beats down pretty hard on the trail heading up toward the peak. There are great views of the valley all along this section of the trail, but there is very little shade. Traveling along the trail during cooler times of the day is recommended. If you hike this trail in the spring or during early summer, you will also find a lot of various wildflowers along the trail.
This trail is open to bicycles, horses, and pets.

Hello I was wondering if you had a gpx file for this trail!
Thank You,
Well, I can convert my gps file to a gpx file online, but I am not sure how to post it here. I haven't tried before. See if it works when you follow this link from the place that converts files: http://www.gpsvisualizer.com/download/convert/20160807203457-96077-data.gpx
It worked I just had to modify it to reach to skyline. I was just curious how many miles I did. Great hike took almost 3 hours and I had an adventure hitchiking on skyline drive.
