Best for
Before you go
Stick to the west side of the trail for the shadiest stretches and quiet creek crossings; the east side runs close to Lamar and gets traffic noise and exhaust. Expect uneven surfaces with bumps and potholes, so skip this trail if your dog pulls hard or you're pushing a stroller.
