My Trail Review:
April 2008
This trail has it's own trailhead and parking area with plenty of parking, a potty, picnic table and shade. The entrance to the trail is well marked and the trail is well marked and maintained with benches along the way to sit down, relax and enjoy the views.
There are a couple boxes with brochures near the entrance gate to the trail. One will tell you all about the fauna that is maked with numbered post signs along the way (see photo gallery for examples).
This is a very enjoyable and scenic short family trail. It is both rather easy to do and educational so would make a great day hike for families with younger children who can walk and explore with you. When you get to the top you will find the ancient Indian ruins along with informative markers and even a wood view deck where you can see pearl blue Lynx Lake far below you in the pine forest.
Enjoy the Hike!
