About This Trail

Imported description

The trail resembles the rest of the trail but it is taken a left at the saddle. You can take the trail up the valley if you want, as there is a Spring fed creek for most of the time. This trail has the capacity for a good image of the city without a lot of effort. You can see the site summit, where Nike Missiles were held a long time ago. You could be fined if you are caught in the military instillation near the trail head. It's $5 to park at the airport at the northern end of the Ski Area.
