HIKE WALKTHROUGH: This hike begins with a relatively flat walk along horse stables continuing with some steeper rolling and uphill areas. Rain has resulted in scattered wildflowers and some overgrown areas, so long pants are recommended. Quite a bit of the trail is exposed so sunglasses, sunscreen and plenty of hydration is a must.
PARKING AND FACILITIES: Public restrooms are available at the meeting area and there is cell service
DOG-FRIENDLY?: Yes, but must be kept on a leash, and should be friendly with other dogs and hikers. You must pick up after your pet.

MY FRIEND SAID I CAN DO THIS HIKE, I SHOULD BE ABLE TO DO IT, RIGHT?
We take your safety quite seriously, and would not like for you to attend a hike you’re not ready for. You know your body and hiking experience better than your friends. Whether you are a first-timer or an experienced hiker, please read our hike details page as the hike may not suite your experience level. We have a better experience if every hike has hikers of the intended level.
