 Walking along, listening to the birds, warm temps and constant light breeze, this hike was the epitome of a relaxing hike.  Cottontail rabbits, lots of birds, lizards, a solitary frog and a roadrunner were some of the park's residents we encountered.

The trails are well marked and easy to traverse although there are a few areas where the rocks are more pronounced but all in all, an easy hike.  If you go, please do not drop trash on the trails!  If you pack it in, pack it out AND if you see trash, please pick it up.

NOTES  

Water, toilets, info kiosk and some shade are available at the Playground parking area.
