February 28, 2021Super hidden and nice. The perfect place for a quiet hike.
February 23, 2021February 22, 2021pretty low key. no one else on trail. definitely a few nice views.
February 21, 2021Great shape
February 17, 2021Good short hike with some elevation and views. Not worth a long drive, but great if you live in the area.
February 14, 2021Nice leisurely walk of a trail. Pretty views and "cairn city" was an unexpected little surprise.
February 9, 2021February 4, 2021First 1/4 mile is the toughest
February 3, 2021January 27, 2021DO NOT PARK ACROSS THE STREET FROM ANOTHER CAR!! I thought I would try this trail again, still just meh. But also came back to a broken mirror and some scratches on my car door. A neighbor said it could have been the construction trucks, but didn't see anything. He said is happens every so often because the street is super narrow. Trash cans are also out so I guess it could have been a trash truck. Anyways, lesson learned.
January 24, 2021January 19, 2021January 11, 2021January 6, 2021Super fun trail! Short and perfect for my active 4yr old! Views are great if you go about 20min before sunset! Highly recommend for the little ones! 1.8 miles with some decent elevation to train them up on! Get after it!
January 4, 2021January 3, 2021This was a nice trail, contrary to what the top reviews made me think. It’s a pretty consistent with some steep parts and some flat parts. There are some cool rock statues (I added one at the top) and lots of dead(?) trees. It’s short and sweet and the views are nice going up! Street parking only. The entrance is a small path between two driveways.
December 10, 2020December 2, 2020It's a dirt trail, but that is it. Not much of a view at the "top" as it is largely obscured. No foliage, mostly dirt and dead grass. There are much better hikes around here.
December 2, 2020November 25, 2020Seems like a well used mountain biking trail. Two separate groups of bikes passed me which caused some issue as the trail is not wide. There is clear evidence of mountain bike jumps at the top that seem to have washed out. As a hike, it was just ok. Hastain Trail (has a lake), Franklin Canyon (also has a lake), Getty View (much better view), or Fryman Canyon (better maintained trail) are all much better choices.
November 20, 2020Be sure to park on the EAST side of the street. The WEST side is NO PARKING. The EAST side has restrictions for red flag days, so during a few days in the late summer you can't park there either.
November 20, 2020rough uphill but it's worth it
November 18, 2020November 14, 2020Shady, scenic, worth the morning hike!
November 8, 2020Good trail!! Nice little workout. The trail head is hidden between two houses with no sign, so keep your eyes open!
October 27, 2020Harder than expected. Good short steep workout.
October 25, 2020Nice quick sometimes steep climb with nice views of the valley.
October 23, 2020Nice hike with the hounds this morning! The trail head is between two houses and reading parking signs is a must! Trail is quite open to the elements and would have been tough if the sun was shining, as it’s quite steep in parts. Don’t think I’ll go back due to the narrowness of the trail, with three dogs on leashes it was a bit precarious coming back down hill on the return trip. My old knees will feel it tomorrow due to the inclines, but some nice views though.
September 29, 2020Awesome trail. The way back through the neighborhood is nice but another 30min and sections that don’t have sidewalks and could potentially be dangerous but lovely nonetheless
August 30, 2020Basically straight up and short. But nice for a quick walk.
