Only two parking spots which were taken. There is a smoothly paved road that goes through a scrubby forest that offers no views. No steep elevation changes so good for all fitness levels, but kind of boring.

Very nice walking trail; we walk our dog and love the views and always meet friendly people and dogs. Recommend going early in the day…it can get pretty warm after 11am.

Nate Lott

Good walking trail with easy rolling hills. Switches back and forth from trail to quiet street to trail. We went 30 minutes out the first time for about 1.5 miles. Now do the trail from bottom to top and back again making it 6 miles round trip.

Scenic, shady, well-traveled paved slightly inclined paths. Good for running, walking biking, botanists, nature-lovers. Take care to move to the side for the one lane road motorists when you hit the residential areas. Lovely vistas. Friendly people.

A real nice place for people to get exercise, whether its biking, skateboarding, running, or whichever method of travel you choose. This path is a mix of pavement surrounded by mainly forest and housing. My ex boyfriend lives here tho.
