Description

The trail is very straightforward and easy to follow. There is some up and down, and some of it is through a wash, but it's very short. This is a good trail to take with older folks or younger kids who may not want something longer. This is also good as an add on to a bigger day.

Nice easy trail, sandy, informational signs in route. Snow in am, 34 degrees at time of walk, little to no wind and I had layers on.
