List of trails:

Talon:
A 2.64 miles moderate trail with increasing elevation gain, it begins as a prairie hike and traverses through the scrub oak to the montane. Vegetation and views change along the way, so there’s no chance to get bored, only inspired.
Talon North:
A 1.60 miles moderate trail of some elevation gain with an amazing overlook. This makes a great “AHA” moment after a nice hike or ride.
Talon South:
A 0.98-mile moderate trail with a gentle slope among lush vegetation and the trail bisects a large rock fin before looping south through interesting terrain.
Zook Loop:
A 1.03 easy, mostly flat trail that connects with several trails. It leads to “The Rock Garden,” which is a great place to sit and enjoy the wonders of nature.”
