We hiked Noggin which followed along the creek—we had a toddler with us and had to stop at the steeper section. But the first mile or so was gorgeous and totally doable with a toddler. Beautiful park!

Beautiful place. Lots trails to hike..if you’re not hiker be ready to have some sore legs. Bring some water. Over all worth it!

Lots of great views and well defined trails make this a great place for a short day hike. The look out at white rock oversees JC and is a great place to enjoy the beauty.

A nice hike that was challenging enough but not too challenging. This hike was mostly well-marked until the very end when we ended up making a wrong turn and going in a circle. The views are nice and there are plenty of places to stop and enjoy the view or have lunch.
