About This Trail

Imported description

It's only possible on the weekends. During the week it's possible to ride any of those days. The trail is usually closed during the late spring and early summer. Make sure the portion of the trail in question is open. The road up Douglas Mountain Road to the north parking lot was the only exit for the west entrance of the trail. This trail has a lot of meadow with a lot of rough areas. The water for dogs is piped through three Creeks. There is a large number of parks in the open space system. The park offers a lot of fun. This expansive park will be set aside for your health and safety.
