Description

"If you've made it here from the west side of the system, you are THRIVING! Keep that smile and get ready for a fun descent, still following along the north side of the golf course. As you start to level out, take the left at an intersection. You'll wind through a few rock chunks and lots of prickly pear cactus. There is a short climb with a few chunky bumpy rocks. PERSEVERE and continue until you top a ridge and can see north to the rest of the water tower trails. Make a left at this intersection and then a right to follow the trail that enjoys a sustained climb around the north side of the hill.

This whole area has incredible wild flowers in the Spring, and this particluar spot has a great concentration of Woolly Bluestar. Look for them in May. Once you top out on the hill, veer right and connect to Queen's Way, or pick one of a few other trail options."
