Compact Trail Route Guides
Since the summer of 2021, we have been putting together compact PDF documents with suggested routes for enjoying the trails in our open spaces. These new guides have just two pages so they will be easy to download, print and take along with you. They include
- A list of highlights
- A general description
- Important statistics like the length, amount of climbing, available facilities, hazards, trail conditions, directions to the trailhead, etc.
- The elevation profile
- A map that clearly shows the route that is described
- There are photos on the last page(s) so you can see what to expect, but you can easily skip printing them if you would like to take a copy of the guide with you.
Here we are collecting all the new compact guides in one place to help you find them. They are organized by open space area and difficulty. Check the links to the “full open space description” links for older hiking and riding recommendations along with general descriptions of the open space areas.
