Description
The trailhead is extremely easy to find since it has such a large sign. The trail itself is nothing too spectacular, as it does not feature many views. If you go in the spring, you'll notice endless bugs scavenging for pollen. This is actually a great time to visit, as there are beautiful colors among the flowers and insects as well. The trail itself is fairly easy, without much elevation gain.
