April 8, 2021Great little loop. Trail is a bit bumpy on the lower east side near the creek and becomes an absolute bike path once up on the bench to the west.
April 1, 2021pretty slimy still, first 1.5 is pretty solid but then it's a foot game to stay out of mud and snow
March 25, 2021March 14, 2021A great little hike for the family. even the pre elementary school crowd loved it - provided we could stop picking up rocks long enough to walk . There is still a bit of mud on one section so bring your wellies.
February 14, 2021February 5, 2021Super muddy right now but still a beautiful hike. A lot of the trail is iced over too so I would recommend you bring your yaktrax.
November 17, 2020Great way to start the day!
October 28, 2020love it lots of Bridges
September 17, 2020Great quick hike. Good views and cute creek crossing. Great way to unwind on an evening stroll
August 9, 2020This map does not show all routes available. As seen here I took my own path. Although not marked very clear path.
July 4, 2020Nice morning hike took me about an hour.
June 22, 2020Beautiful yellow flowers everywhere
May 26, 2020HIt the trail about 8 am, a little overcast on a Tuesday. Not crowded when I left, but full parking lot when I returned. Went to bridge 11, then took Cross Cut and Burrito trails down. Super fun downhill, pretty uphill.
May 21, 2020Love this trail hiked it a few times now. First time with my 4yo walking it. We went nice and slow great beginner trail and love how many options there are. This particular “loop” is starting at Grant St. Parking lot and going to bridge #10 (don’t need to cross it) then follow bench trail down (or vice versa). There’s an outhouse, when we went there wasn’t TP.
May 11, 2020April 22, 2020this is fun trail for anyone. great for beginners
September 7, 2019Went in the rain and it was delightful! I will be taking my kiddo for a quick and fun hike here soon
August 18, 2019nice easy hike close to town
July 31, 2019This is a great 1 hour hike. I love that it offers two different sceneries in one- very beautiful! I recommend this hike to anyone looking for an easy, enjoyable time.
May 26, 2019April 1, 2019good trail.
March 21, 2019The ending of the loop comes down Bench trail which is more geared towards bikes, so the bike trails are a little confusing. No matter what, they will take you back and you'll be able to see where you need to turn back down to the creek
March 3, 2019lots of fun, right now its muddy and has some icey spots, but overall was a lot of fun!
September 22, 2018Leaves are dropping, first day of fall feels like the first day of fall
August 29, 2018Very fun easy hike! Great views and well maintained. Just watch for traffic on the narrow trails.
June 26, 2018I absolutely love this trail. I use it all the time with my family and our dog. It’s the perfect place for biking or hiking. There are trailheads for flatter, easier hikes or steeper, uphill climbs for a great view of Pocatello and the mountains!
May 28, 2018Fun scenic trails just hard to get out of others way with a stroller
May 28, 2018Very pretty scenery. Not super wide trails so hard to get out of the way of bikers or to let others pass.
May 20, 2018Rain made things wet and slippery for me to continue
May 19, 2018I would backtrack down City Creek trail rather than Bench. Bench trail is narrow and was harder to hike on. It was a good starter hike with my 3 year old though.
