It's a well maintained trail. Well the trail it's self is maintained, off the trail is a huge mess. It's essentially the best beginner hike. The trail is fenced in so it's pretty hard to get lost and not much of a wow factor, simple and subpar. If you have been actively going on hike with more of a challenger or more scenery this isn't the hike for you.

Great Morning 4 a Hike...
Trail is well defined by wood fencing. Couple steep hills in the beginning but not too much after that. Stay on the trail. We went off trail and it would be easy to get turned around in the desert plus unfortunately, there is trash everywhere tucked back through there. On the trail though, no trash and everything looks clean.
Some geocaches if that's your thing. I'd like to say there was much to see, but...compared to Vasquez Rocks or devils punch bowl, it's a better run then anything
Perfect walk or hike with your dog on a cool day. We really enjoyed it. It is easy with a few short somewhat steep hills thrown in.
We could not believe the amount of dog waste on the trail and we take three dogs with us. Clean up after your fur babies!
Nice little trail for when you just want to walk around for a bit and pass the time.
Love it! That hill always kills me
Hike is beautiful in late winter,late spring. Very steep down/up twice at start then pretty level rest of path. Dogs are not picked up after, many not on leash. This needs to be corrected .
