For fans of prehistory, you’ll love the large bones here, which always make me feel like I’m so small. Their bones were so large!

Wildflowers are a highlight of any trail, especially if they are the wild kind. Who wouldn’t love a pop of color on their walk?

If you’re the type to find beauty anywhere, this is a great hike for you. Sometimes all you need is the wide open skies and wind in the breeze.

The trail is open from sunup to sundown, and dogs are allowed as long as you keep them on a leash. Please keep the trail clean by taking everything back with you when you go.
