This gentle 3000 meter track circumnavigates the Snake Hill recreation area and is the easiest way to engage with Snake Hill. Parking can be found on the south side of Snake Hill along the ball diamond and tennis court access road or a the Snake Hill upper parking. Travelling in a counter-clockwise direction, follow Center Street north in the ditch or on any service road, and enter Snake Hill along the northern-most access. Climb a short hill, go between the rocks, and move west along the fenceline to the northwest corner (about 850 meters). Head south at this corner along the fenceline, through a gentle dip, then out to the bench. Follow the trail to the south and down the graded hill that leads to the rodeo grounds fenceline. Follow this along the base of Snake Hill heading east and back to your parking. Minimal elevation gain/loss, double track and road/service road, some wind shelter when on Snake HIll. Easy. Not-directional.
