About This Trail
Users have reported that the trail is closed about one mile in. A great hike close to town, but with wide open spaces and views most hikers crave. The parking is free at the park. You can hear the birds chirp and see the flowers in bloom while you are close to an urban environment. The trail is easy to navigate and you can make an out-and-back trip if you want. The summit of cactus hill is a good place to start heading back. The top of the hill has a picnic table and good views.
