January 2, 2021Kid friendly. I didn’t realize that you basically walking next to a bunch of fancy houses. It was still nice but just not what I was expecting. We did not use snow shoes or grips and had some slipping but overall not bad for a winter hike.

November 22, 2020Beautiful trail so close to Reno and Sparks. The smells from the pine needles and the sound of the creek were intoxicating on a chilly afternoon. Decent amount of snow towards the end of the trail was also a bonus.
