About This Trail

Imported description

The only challenge of the trail is a dirt hill up the mountain that you can easily avoid by turning around and going back the same route. It is very easy to follow and not get lost. It's good for the family and dogs. Unless you go early or late in the day, be prepared for the sun. There is no water access in the beginning of the parking area. If the gate is close, you can park in the neighborhood. On the weekends, the gate is usually open.
