Description
Enjoy the beautiful cottonwoods and tall grasses found on this trail. The trail itself is wide and well-graded. At your first trail junction, take a left. This will take you up a gentle incline until you reach the base of a hill. The incline will become steeper and will climb for the next .25 miles. From the top of the hill it is a blissful glide down around the boundary of the park slowly leading around to the right, toward Bear Creek. Once the parking lot is reached you can either take a right to head back to the beginning or you can drop into the trees along the creek.
