Reviewed by Nancy on 9/17/2006
I walked the trail this morning, arrived at the trailhead at 7, there were no guide brochures available. The trail is generally in good shape, but in a couple cases, I had to make an educated guess as to the direction to travel. That said, the wildflowers, birds and small animals on the route made it a worthwhile trip. And, restrooms at the trailhead are well maintained.
