Description

I think this trail rides better north to south. You can easily link this up with East Valley Trail for a good loop as well. All the mountain trails are accessible from West Valley Trail too...Timber Trail, Kimmons Trail and Howard Trail.

We started and ended in the Homestead Picnic area. Mostly sandy soil but there are some spots with large rocks and steep turns.
