A challenging single track trail that offers a sense of solitude and remoteness.

North Access Trail (2 miles)

This trail runs from the intersection of S. Alkire St. and W. Cedar Dr. and connects to the North Access Trail.

Trail Use Guidelines

Please help protect park resources by remaining on designated trails only. Avoid using wet or muddy trails; the trails tend to dry earlier than many of the foothills parks, making the park a fantastic winter destination.

Proper yielding guidelines:

• Cyclists yield to ALL other trail users. Slow to a safe speed to pass. Make calm and friendly verbal contact prior to passing. Dismount for equestrians.
• Pedestrians should avoid blocking the trail. Yield to equestrians.
• All users must keep dogs on a leash at all times. Be courteous, communicate and listen. The trails are for everyone!
