Description
Most of the trail is dirt and rocks, but small parts of the trail are paved. There are a few small inclines at the beginning, then it evens out the rest of the way. Along the trail, there are benches and spots to relax and take in the view of the city. It does get a little loud, as the trail is right under a landing path for the airport. Caution when around the edge of the cliffs, as they are unstable. The trail is good to break in some new shoes or take little kids for a quick hike.
