Trail Description

Home to several hiking and running trails that are foot traffic only as well as some lovely shared-use trails that get you to the top of the bluff. Home of the infamous Vista Trail that cover 700ft of elevation gain over 3 miles.

Condition Description

Everything is in great shape! Trails are now “always open” until the fall freeze/thaw cycle. If you’re curious about whether trails will be soft/muddy from recent rain, a good rule of thumb is that each inch of rain takes 24 hours to fully dry.
