Family Friendly The lower half is easy going for kids. Trekking the whole trail, out and back, will be a challenge for young children though.

Description

This is one of the longer treks out of the Rodeo Valley. The trail is mostly easy going with a gentle gradient and views into the valley. It ends at McCullough Road near the roundabout with Conzelman Road.
