I hike this trail a lot as it a perfect length for a weekday workout. It has varied surfaces, elevations and landscape. There are no real vistas on this trail, although they have recently added a short side trail with a bench overlooking one of the valleys in the park. While most of this trail can be hiked after rain, there is one small stretch where the "gum-mud" holds water and permanently adheres to boots and clothing if the area has not sufficently dried.
