Family Friendly Short, kid friendly singletrack loop.

If arriving by vehicle, park at the main Valley View parking lot and only enter the trail from the trailhead. The trail open times follow the park open times.

Description

This is a training singletrack trail most often used by bikers, but hikers are welcome to enjoy it too. The trail is fairly easy and features bridges, boardwalks, and a rock garden. The rolling terrain and over 300' feet of climbing provide a good opportunity for a workout on this easily accessible loop. Hikers will find tight singletrack through the trees leading into open prairie sections of tall grass and general open meadows.
