Trading Post Trail
9.0 • Hiking area
Trail offers easy access and a mostly flat 1.5-mile loop with a big hill at the end. It features beautiful red rock views and is dog and kid friendly, though lacks shade and includes many stairs that require attention. Wildlife like deer appears occasionally, and the path is well marked and clean.
