Hey giant x3. here's some better directions, get off the Edens at tower road. follow tower to the intersection at forest way. take a left on forest way. proceed a mile or two until you see a large grassy clearing and a picnic shelter on your left. there are usually lots of cars parked there. there is a paved bike trail that runs along forest way. the bone's head is located just off this paved trail, its a gravel path. hopefully this helps a bit? in other news, the jumps at the bone have been taken down. still trying to figure out who did this...

these directions dont help - where is the trail head? can you give more details?

No doubt a very fun trail. Once you hit the broken pavement, take a right for the dirt jumps, hill, and more. Or, take a left and there will be a trail that loops back to where you started. Caution when it's wet. There are spots among this trail that flood, as it is very close to a large lagoon.
