Description
Nice scenery on this fairly wide and well-maintained trail. The trail is multi-use, so you may encounter horses, mountain bikes, and others on foot. You can access this trail on the high side by entering where 264th Street and 103rd Ave meet and at Grant Avenue on the other side. On this trail you can check out the scenery without having to worry about roots and rocks which are minimal.
