Description
The trail south of Edmands Road is less technical than its northern side. In general, the southern side of the park has more people and many dogs (usually off leash--regardless of whatever the policy happens to be). On the northern side, the trail skirts around Gibbs Mountain and while technical, remains intermediate.
