January 14, 2021December 17, 2020Easy hike. Flat parts most of it. If you go right you get any climb over with. Lots of bikers. Good views of the city.
September 28, 2020September 25, 2020September 22, 2020September 20, 2020July 26, 2020Earlier AM hikes best. Wish mountain bikers would say something as they approach.
June 21, 2020Great loop with good variation and some looser sections of rock to really make you work in those uphills. Did it counterclockwise. Views in the distance of smoke from wildfires up north. Very surprised to encounter zero mountain bikers on any portion of this loop (their tracks were all over, just no people).
March 1, 2020We only hiked half the trail before turning around. Good trail for working out and privacy. No great views. Maybe okay for active dogs.

January 14, 2020January 13, 2020December 12, 2019Loved this trail could probably be called easy though
May 27, 2019Nice burn out, but an amazing ride with my Tio Adrian Felix.
May 12, 2019Great running trail to take clockwise for a nice sunrise. I took a wrong turn and ended up doing an unplanned climb and improv trail to make it back, but it ended up being a perfect 5mi and a little extra challenge!
March 31, 2019enjoy helping me learn really like.
March 24, 2019This is a pretty long flat trail. There are only a couple of nice, steep grades that had some loose rocks. If you're like me and prefer to take those uphill vs downhill, I'd take this trail counterclockwise. It was almost empty for a Sunday but it is about 80 degrees today.

February 7, 2019Pros: lots of pretty flowers and little critters Cons: the majority of the trail is along busy roads- not peaceful. Very difficult to follow without the app open. Would say this trail is easy, rather than moderate

First to ReviewNot hard, a bit difficult to follow in some spots. Beautiful down by the Pointe Resort.
