March 1, 2021It is a nice and easy trail for an early morning walk.
February 18, 2021Very calm trail. No steep climbs. Not busy at all on weekdays. Gorgeous views of mountains. For extra points you can go through Mummy Mountain.
February 13, 2021Beautiful, windy in spring
January 23, 2021Very nice, but because of clouds and low fog not the best view, and trail was muddy due to rain the day before
January 20, 2021Beautiful! Stunning views and a variety of terrains. On the easier side of moderate for sure, there is one sizable hill at the beginning and the rest is primarily flat or down hill. Lots of cows that may or may not be on the trail. Look out for people with off leash dogs, we encountered some hikers with an off leash dog that spooked cows near the trail who then began to chase us and our dog. Plan for cow encounters as a possibility.

December 24, 2020Went counterclockwise, good workout. Views of the city on one side of the hill. Can't say I will be back soon. Just prefer nature views when trying to escape the city.
