I’m very lucky to have this beautiful place as my backyard. Those of you visiting; remember the #1 rule of nature; LEAVE, NO. TRACE. We love our park. RESPECT this beloved neighborhood treasure. Pick up your trash, don’t graffiti (dirtbags) and bring your headphones or hike in silence.

First section isn’t too bad….. as you reach what you think is the “top” with a nice bench to enjoy the view, look behind you and realize the next hill is just waiting for you to show it who’s boss! Bring water, sunscreen and lots of energy!
