This is a very nice easy to get to hike for people that want a mellow Hill climb. There are no amazing views, but it is a very nice place and very close to town, I will definitely be going back.

Such a nice place so close to the neighborhood for families to access. Of course there are people who don't follow the dog leash rule which would be nice for people that do. Trail is kept well and very lovely! Nice bench added and great to have a restroom. Thank you
