Description
This is the main trail at Great Hills Park and it connects from the Sierra Oaks Trailhead to the Floral Park Trailhead. As the short trail gradually descends, it borders and crosses a number of creeks that travel through the park. As you hike, keep an eye out for local birds and some bat homes that have been placed along the trail.
