East Glenwood Open Space Entrance Trail

The East Glenwood Entrance Trail at the East Glenwood Open Space Preserve is an easy 0.8-mile out-and-back trail that connects the parking lot to the official entrance to the open space. Note that this trail actually passes through a public space referred to as Glenwood Meadows.

Parking
Hikers will find a medium-sized parking lot at the coordinates provided that can fit upwards of about 20-vehicles if not a bit less. Upon this visit I was the first person here on a Tuesday around 8AM, but when I left at 9AM, the lot was half-full, so it's fairly popular for morning walkers.

Pets
Dogs are allowed on this trail, but dogs are not allowed beyond this entrance trail and must be kept outside of the defined open space area. Note that dogs are not allowed due to the East Glenwood Open Space Preserve's use of cow grazing to keep rare wildlife (both plants and animals) flourishing here.

Warnings
Rattlesnakes, mountain lion, wasps, poison oak, and ticks may all be found within this park.

Prohibited
No camping, no plant/animal/mineral collecting, no motorized vehicles or horses. No smoking, no alcohol.
