Hike/Park Description:
A year so so back our ah... not so young group decided to brave the "Rough Go" trail. Not only was it a little longer than our usual hike, but the name wasn't encouraging. But after careful study, I found the trail is rough only to mountain bikes, for which it was probably named. The boulders are easily avoided on foot and it makes for a delightful round trip if you take the unique Spring Creek trail up.

See our Park page for more information.
