Nightbird Gulch Trail offers a great route to get to the top of Mt. Galbraith without having to navigate as many people. Being that this trail starts in a neighborhood and is closer to town, it offers a great alternative to the Cedar Gulch Trail. This trail is more exposed to the sun than Cedar Gulch, but provides more views of the city.
