Amazing and fun! Super interactive trail! Made me realize I need to get into better shape for this lol 😂 You need to have really good knees! We took our young dog and she did good but was a little nervous. I definitely wouldn't take my older chunky dog.

Trails are beautiful but if you go for water you are out of luck. A local on the trail said it's been completely dry for two seasons. she said there was so much water before and now nothing for 2 years. H believes someone up stream has to be damning the water up. The county should investigate zero water!!!!
