Dogs AllowedYes
This trail is pretty much a narrow cut through grass meadows. There is very little elevation change, except for one stiff climb up and over a grassy hill. There is a rut in multiple spots, but riders appears to be riding next to the rut and creating another single track trail. Not ideal for trail maintenance, but it keeps the trail very easy to ride. Only a few spots where you drop quickly or punch it up.
A lot of the trail you can see the freeway, and there is a little pond that you ride next to for just a bit.
