This trail begins either at Sunset park or Grand Avenue park (this specific Trailforks trail starts on the Grand side). The trail has a strenuous climb up to a scenic viewpoint with a bench. From here the marked trail takes a sharp left and consists of a steep downhill into a fire road flat that becomes another strenuous climb up to Sunset park (or the entrance to You’ve Got to Be Kidding Me). The trail also has an unmarked singletrack spur off of the park bench area which starts out as a mellow transition to a steep and overgrown descent which bypasses most of the doubletrack descent.

Access Info

This trail can either be accessed from Grand Avenue park near the back of the park (you’ll see a gate with a sign directing you to the trail) or from Sunset park (a spur running from the park). Both of these parks offer parking, Grand has a designated lot and Sunset you can park on the street.

THIS TRAIL IS OPEN FROM 7:30 AM TO 7:30 PM ONLY
