    Clues for Your Hike

    1. Begin your hike with the path at the corner of the lower parking area that runs between the pavilion and playground with a climbing dome.
    2. At the Y in the path, keep left and follow the gravel path with a fence on the right.
    3. At the end of the gravel path, continue on the grass to a second gravel path, then turn left.
    4. Follow the gravel path to the T in the path and turn right. The path turns into a paved path.
    5. Continue to the parking area, then carefully cross it to the opposite corner, keeping the fenced sports areas on your left.
    6. Continue on the trail at the “No Motor Vehicles” sign. You will see a large birdhouse straight ahead.
    7. Keep left at the Y intersection and continue on the paved path as it loops around the park.
    8. At the Y in the path keep to the left (the birdhouse will be on the right, and the sports areas will be on the left). Continue on the paved path until you reach the row of houses.
    9. Before the row of houses, turn right. Houses will now be on the left and a soccer field to the right. Keep right at the next Y and continue on the paved path.
    10. Turn left at the T, then go straight at the next intersection and cross over the bridge.
    11. After the bridge, keep left with a dog park on the left and railroad tracks on the right.
    12. At the next T in the path, turn right and continue past the “Miner” train station on the right. Head across the railroad tracks.
    13. Keep left at the Y in the path after the railroad tracks, then turn right to cross the wooden bridge. The red train will be on your left.
    14. Look for the post on a tree to the right of the path near the volleyball area. To return to your vehicle, follow the path toward the pickleball courts back to the original parking area.
