Description

This shorter trail isn't anything to write home about, but it connects the Great Horned Owl Trail to Valle Verde Trail, which can be important if you're trying to add mileage by visiting both parks. The trail is a pretty flat trail with a few mild peaks and valleys and, like most trails in the area, is pretty sun exposed.
