We make a loop using the road and the trash dumped here is horrible.
The trail on its own is great and maintained fairly well. So a 4+ on the trail as mapped. A 3 because the surrounding is not great.
Easy.
Good if you want a nice stroll or to trail run. Easy path.
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 .
The Trail is very Nice! Not much of a hike. Its More like a walking trail it was too easy great for beginners.
My Hubby and I enjoyed our hike. Beautiful scenery, and peaceful. We will be back!
This place is awesome to get away from all the city noise . Lots of people doing their own thing.
Good hiking trail!!
Good daily hike, after the first few hills, it's pretty chill. If you want to continue a more moderate hike, go off trail in the hills. marked path over up/ down the hills that will still lead you to the end point; just be careful as there are lots of different trails to take.
Good short hike.
Good to enjoy a short hiking day
It's a good trail for walking or Running its short easy trail it's good for all ages view is ok.
all round trip...1 hour walking...nice walk
Super easy! Love it!
A nice clean trail with great views! Taking your dog for a 3 mile walk, great, don't forget to clean up after your dog please! The trail and surrounding area had a group cleaning up last weekend! Until lately everyone picks up their dogs poo. Unfortunately, someone with a big dog doesn't know how to use a disposable bags. Thank you Palmdale for such a nice place to walk! People be a responsible pet owner and clean up the trail!
Very bland city type trail. Not much to talk about.
I'm from the east coast and the views were good for me. A quick walk out and back with a couple of sides to expand a run or jaunt. Will be back.
Nice chill place to run. Nothing spectacular though.
