Crossing Evans creek is required towards the beginning of the hike, but it was easy. The trail is mild as it goes up the canyon. There are a lot of flowers on the hillside in May. Decent views of the city and mountains can be seen while descending.

Short and easy paved loop with interpretive signs. The is a lot of sage brush with views of the surrounding hills. There is also no shade. The park and more-so the trail backs up to BLM land. So, firearm discharge was heard and seen not too far off.

Peaceful hike along the creek. Lots of water this spring. Thick mud on trails when wet.

The road up to the trailhead feels like a rural back road as it twists up the mountain. It's easy to forget that your in the middle of a city. The trail itself is very rocky. I'd imagine biking and stroller use would be difficult. Lots of picnic tables and great views from the top of Lookout peak.

The whole trail is paved and can completed in a loop. There are multiple forks in the trail that provide access to surrounding neighborhoods. There are stone bench's that provided great bird watching opportunities. In January, a thick sheet of ice covered the trail in the tunnel.
