This popular interpretive trail offers easy hiking and biking during the summer months. During the winter months this trail becomes snow covered, creating a wonderful opportunity for snowshoeing and cross-country skiing. Benches are placed at convenient locations as the trail rambles through stands of mountain mahogany, sage and rabbit brush. Eventually, the trail follows along a gentle rock rim of welded tuff before climbing a gradual ridge to Devine Summit. Keep your eyes peeled for white-headed woodpeckers along the trail. No stock or OHV are allowed on the trail.
