The first part of the trail is nice, shaded with lots of trees and it's a great change not to have the typical crushed granite pathways. After going down the green metal stairs and the green metal bridge, I soon reached the creek again. Unfortunately, apartment buildings were across the water. However, I kept going up & down the rocks & continued to a part of the trail that had not been walked in quite some time (after the apartments ended). The trail was barely noticeable and it became very rough. I was climbing over and under many fallen trees & through a lot of rough brush. There was also a cool cave to walk through. I eventually approached a cliff area that was pretty challenging to walk across the multi-level rocks & hold onto tree branches to balance myself. This area was very secluded & no one was around - it was very peacefuil. I passed a really nice area of the creek with lots of large boulders and it made a beautiful sounding waterfall sound. I eventually came up to an overpass with cars going across above, out of nowhere. This is where I turned around because I could not see anymore walkable areas. If you look down at this point, there's a very old, totalled blue pick-up truck that had trees literally growing through it and big boulders had falled on top of it. It was really wild. I really enjoyed this trail, although it was definitely tough on the knees and I wound up getting lots of cuts from all the brush. If you're looking for solitude, just keep going past the end of the apartments.
