The Hidden Valley Trail is a one-mile loop that offers meander through large rock formations, perfect for families and rock scrambling. Along the trail, you’ll find educational signs about local plants and animals, and you can spot "Cow Rock," a cow-shaped formation on the valley wall. The trail is easy but includes stairs and rock steps at the start and end. It’s a popular hike, so arriving early, especially on weekends, is recommended. The trail has little shade and bad cell service.

A little quick loop that brings you to the Hidden Valley, where once cattle thiefs used to hide.
