Parks & Nature
Also, a Lower Table Rock trail. Both these trails are approx 5 miles round trip (if you walk along the top). Once on top, you hike flat along the top of a plateau to the edge for stunning views of our valley. This is what is left of an ancient volcanic lava flow. Kids can easily do this hike. Bring water and a picnic for the top. Dogs not allowed, so plan accordingly as you do not want to leave them in the car waiting on you. Free parking. Outhouse style bathroom at parking lot.
