This trailhead has been made available to the public in an extremely thoughtful manner, so please be respectful of the land owners.

The information kiosk is well maintained and has a large easy to read map of the trail system. There is interesting information posted to read about "Adobe Jack" and the precious ecosystem surrounding the trails. The trails are very well marked with carved wooden signs and maps posted at almost every trail junction point. The trails have no colored blazes but are well traveled and hikers can easily stay on the trail. The trail terrain varies and during the hike we traveled over wide gravel pathways, small washes and rocky steps. The trail was never very steep or had any long duration inclines. The views of the Red Rocks along the trail were stunning and we were able to observe many different plants and animals.
