Nice small trail system at the top of a lil mountaintop. You drive to the top and park in a large dirt parking lot. The hike has 3 short loops you can connect to do a good distance. We hiked for an hour and didn't do all three of the loops. You can start uphill or downhill and while it is a little steep in some parts it also doesn't feel that hard while hiking down but it was a good climb back to the top. Sign says park closes at dusk. Not a lot of people on the trails and pretty secluded.

Collier Cove is up a steep hill in a neighborhood. The views are beautiful. The trail is quite short. It's good for a ten minute walk, but not good if you are looking for a real hike.

Good place for exercise hike or trail running. Not amazing views as so many trees are there, but there are several loops and uphill and downhills that you can go as short or as long as you like depending on the exercise you want. The uphill can be pretty steep, and if it's been raining, the trail will have slippery mud. Lots of benches for resting though if you need.

Around 1.85 miles and 800 ft climbing if you cover every foot of trail. A few easily avoidable sections of poison ivyThanks for the feedback, Bingham.

There are there are 5 different loops. The longest being .6 miles. The elevation change is pretty moderate though. 2150 ft at the base of that trail to 2900 ft at the very top of another. There are plenty of choices in the middle though.
