We will have to come back and do the actual trail. Today we walked the path along the park and found an entrance leading down into the wash which was a fun little walk. We saw horseback riders, dirt bike riders, and plenty of other people with dogs. Update: Came back and completed the Oak Tree Loop. It's a moderate hike with scenic views. We saw a family of deer and they let me take pictures for a long time :)

Not a hike to be scoffed at if you're on foot in the middle of summer like I was. The wilderness is great and majestic and there are many trails to explore with some interesting stops and some wildlife to see along the way. I saw many deer and a lynx in the parking lot. Also the old house is a good place to rest in the shade and get some water.

Yo I came here today (4/18/2025) and it was my first time hiking this joint. My legs are tired so not sure if that’s good or bad to yall reading this review. Anyways, very nature low noise good trails. Some incline or you can opt out for the easier trails. People being their pets like dogs and horses. They walk the dogs and the horses carry their owners. I didn’t see anyone walking their turtle so idk if you wanna bring it here for a walk. Anyways nature wise, I saw a bunch of birds and of many kinds (just check out the pictures I added and you know what add me on the gram @jluzphoto). There’s also deer and like other animals. We did come across a rabbit of sorts with no head, don’t know what did it but I’d take it as a warning to stay out?! There’s a cool abandoned house, lowkey creepy if you ask me cuz there was a game cam pointing right at it and it makes me wonder if it’s haunted or some. I did add a photo of the house (add me on the gram @jluzphoto). Anyways, I’d totally go back if I’m ever in the area specifically for hiking. I rate this place 14 out of 14. Always check me out on the gram if you haven’t done so after reading this wonderful review @jluzphoto

Easy, well maintained, and well marked trails. Lots of oak trees and other native plants. Interesting hiking destinations including old ranch buildings and an Oak forest. I have seen bears, deer, coyotes, bobcats, hawks, and many other birds here.

This is the kind of place to go if you want to escape the crowds. I really liked this place for that reason. I only seen one other person on the trail at midday! There are two trails to take in order to get into the park. The first one is by the parking lot and the other one is up the road. You can take either one because its a loop trail. If you do take the one by the parking lot the trail is narrow and there's not much to see at first until you've gone maybe two miles, if that. After that it opens up. I seen a lone coyote, squirrels, acorn woodpeckers, and other birds. Be safe and have fun!
