About This Trail

Imported description

There's a fee per person and a fee per animal. I mean credit card payments only. Relating, there are children ages 12 and under with an adult. A great trail with a lot of stairs. It's not for the faint of heart to park at the park and go up all the hill. Well groomed and covered in shade. Cool lookout points along the way. The afternoon hike was pretty nice.
