Notes:
Once you get past the school this is very pretty and peaceful.
The terrain becomes a mixture of grasses, prickly pear cactus, and short trees.
There were many Western Bluebirds with brilliant blue feathers.
This hike has a lot of direct sunlight exposure, so has the potential to be hot.
After a climb in the beginning, the rest of this trail is easy.
