About This Trail

Imported description

The trail is a simple hike around a forested hill and then back to the trail head. The trail is named because of the different types of trees in the forest. The trail overlaps at first with Forest Trail as they leave the nature center and follow a gentle grade up to the east. The trail is rocky in some places and grassy in others. The amphitheater is located in the loop. The trail is popular among school children, families with small children and others who enjoy walking.
