About This Trail
It is not possible to bring bikes on this trail. The trail is on the map and easiest to finding from the Information board. It's a short, steep hike with nice views of Bears Mountain to the south and east. You can know where the information sign is by going from the parking lot over to the trail sign. You should reach the small wooden staircase from the marked trail. Either of the two methods of transportation leads you to the same place on the trail on the hill. Small grassy areas will sometimes be supported by thick evergreen forests. There are flowers all along the trail. There is a large spring with wild rose plants and aspen trees when sunrise is spoled by the early morning sun. The summit is going to provide views of the mountain and many other areas from the left.
