Length: 1.5 miles round trip

Difficulty: Easy with a few steep and slippery steps

Description: This lovely, easy trail winds through the chaparral and in wet years is filled with wildflowers. In the winter, especially after a rain, there may be a bit of water in a several small drainage canyons. These do not run year round. Animals seen in the area include Grey Fox, Deer and squirrels. This is a pleasant walk to take with seniors and children, especially if the steeper, upper portion of the trail is avoided. There are several benches in the shade which make pleasant stopping points, comfortable areas to read or just reflect.
