The trail begins on Japonica Way just east of Waterlily Way heading north on a paved path before turning to an earthen trail consisting of a mix of grass and gravel. Hikers will enjoy a nice stroll in the rolling hills with slight to moderate increases and decreases in elevation. The trail will take you along the edge of Valley View Park before making a significant decent to a paved path running along the edge of the neighborhood. The trail will also take hikers to Monarch Park. Lucky hikers will be treated to jack rabbits along the hillsides, ground squirrels scurrying along the paths and a plethora of birds along the trail.
