Easy trail with cool owls to looks at and if you looks around there are some shelters that I’ve built here.

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.

Easy trail to take with a group of people (with varying comfort levels) and pups. I’d recommend during spring or fall, as there’s no cover and can get very hot during the heat of summer.

There are also lots of mountain bikers on the trail, so be cognizant and step aside to let them pass.

Evans Canyon Trail is a nice trail to hike in the spring when the creek is flowing and the landscape is vibrant and green. The trail is very peaceful and a great short and easy nature hike. There are even views of the Nevada N up on the hillside.

Really impressed with this place! Lots of great trails, little nooks and crannies of cool trees and birds and definitely coming back. Also ....people are here playing " disc golf" --- something I never heard of in my entire life. Looks hard! But people are really enjoying this game. Gorgeous day for a hike.

Can get very muddy! In the winter, if you hiking in the shady areas, expect ice. Lots of off leash dogs. I am careful to leash my dog before she comes in contact with another dog, but lots of people do not do the same. The hike to N is steep, but the view is beautiful.

Very beautiful nature walk highly reccomend this trail for kids, families, and elderly people. Breathtaking views esp the fall colors too!

This is a great local place to hike. The terrain is pretty flat but you can ver off to higher ground at points if you would like. Great dog walking area. You share it with bikers, runners and hikers. If everyone practices trail courtesy it all works out great.

Usually in spring the creek fills and is running so you can here the beautiful sounds as you follow the path. In fall, as the colors change, the trail takes on a very different look.
