A beautiful country path with some wildlife gems. It's all about the simple beauties of life!

Driving by this trail, I feel like it's always empty, but once I started venturing over on foot from the Bartley trails, now I see how many are out each day enjoying this beautiful countryside in central Reno. So pretty, especially this time of year (fall). I've also seen cows, horses, ducks, flocks of geese, and today I saw a brown hawk.

Loved this central Reno trail system! How nice to have quick easy access to some dessert trails and views. There are four covered picnic tables and a porta-potty and a garbage can. Good amount of parking and trails on both sides of the road.

This park is so nice--tucked away in a neighborhood and huge open grassy space with a side walk around the whole place. Great for walking; I also see a lot of courteous pet owners here with their dogs every time I'm here. It's a great family park, nice playground, clean, it's kept up well and just so much space to walk, I'd say you could get a mile in with the big sidewalk loop. Love it

Pretty little hike within Barley Ranch Regional Park... A trailhead is off the parking lot south of the historic school house. This park actually has a few little historic Reno shout-outs. Boomtown donated some historic house structures and there are some antique wagons, farm equipment, etc. The views from the hike are so pretty and you get to see some wildlife on the nature hike too.
