Lower Bench runs parallel to its upper counterpart, closer to the valley floor. This wide, hard-packed doubletrack trail is loved by hikers, dog walkers, and mountain bikers looking for an easier, low-intensity cruise. It's also a return route to the main Stewart Road East parking lot. The trail is also known for more loose “kitty litter” gravel and springtime bloom of vibrant blankets of yellow Arrowleaf balsamroot wildflowers.
