Robert E. Ward Nature Preserve

This was my 3rd time visiting and it’s always a pleasant hike. I wish they would allow more trails around the preserve to be open to the public, there’s a lot of the Coyote Hills that are limited despite being mostly public land.

Great place to hike, steep hills to climb and really work on your legs and buns of steel, during the spring I'm sure it's lush and green but for now in the winter the bushes are a tad dry, watch out for bikes.

Not a loop trial... trail only on the south side that runs along houses/backyards. No parking on Euclid street - unless you want to chance parking in the church's lot nearby. Google maps had us parking on Armstead which has a trail head, but is a neighborhood cul de sac, so not really much in the way of public parking. Otherwise... nice trail even after recent rains. Minimal foot traffic. Frequent bikers that mostly use the bike pathway. Horses have used the trail but we did not see any when we were there.

The weather was great. It's a great place to hike but definitely needs to be done with a guide. As a first time visitor having someone guide me to complete the entire loop would have helped.

Love this mountain bike trail, the Fullerton Loop. I've done it probably 40+ times now, ...so any questions, please don't hesitate to ask!
