Description
This north-south path is a useful connector between the Dry Creek Trail, Mary Miller Trail and the Lake Link Trail. The trail is pretty flat with a good packed dirt/crusher fine surface. It is routed to the west of Ruth Roberts park and roughly parallels highway 287. Expect to pass through dry prairie-like landscape with deer and hawk sightings.
