About This Trail

Imported description

If you don't have an annual pass, there is a $7 entrance fee. The trail is nice and you can start at a nice level, once you reach the top of the hill. This hike has great views and is a great hike for the afternoon. This is a wonderful area to explore if you want to ride the trails or hike the trail.
