Description

This easygoing trail connects Dante's Trail through Prospect Park to the Prospect St. Trailhead of Purgatory Creek Natural Area. The trail is evenly surfaced with fine gravel and has several places to stop and take in the scenery on park benches. The uphill sections have many switchbacks to keep the grade from being steep.

Fairly flat with a variety of terrain. Fair amount of highway noise.
