Runs along a scenic creek.
Very easy hiking for beginners.
A short walk from the north trailhead and a nice 2.5 mile loop on yellow and white. Yellow trail has a bit of change in elevation while the white trail is pretty flat. For a bit of variation and still in a one hour range of walking, I take the very scenic red/yellow connector but have to pay for it by being on red trail for a bit.
