What's Best About Our Trails?
We think there's much to like about our trails in Southcliff.
First, we have quite a variety (cue the Armour Hot Dogs jingle): fat trails, skinny trails, trails with granite rocks; tough trails, easy trails, even trails with wooden walks.
Secondly, you can see some amazing things: stunning views, interesting wildlife, flowers in bloom, trees in autumn glory.
Third, they're well-maintained. A contractor performs scheduled maintenance, and your trails committee fills in as needed.
Finally, they offer a nice option for getting your "zen" on. It's hard not to feel more relaxed after some time on the trails.
