Cowles Mountain

Started at the trailhead and hike up and over. The road down the other side is steeper and sloppy with the gravel. It is busy on the weekend but host a beautiful view.

Great hike with a view. Trail is listed as Moderate and was fun to run too. Lots of rocks and loose gravel, bring shoes with good tread!

If you are in the mood for a hike, this is an easy hike. The views are amazing at the top. Take water with you. Allow 45 minutes each direction for a leisurely hike.

Short and sweet steep home for a great workout and view of the entire city. I like going up the back way as it's significantly less crowded, shaded, and surrounded by plants.

Local hike only 10 minutes drive from the house. Great morning workout (1.5 miles up hill, 3 miles round trip). Beautiful views, but can get really hot so we advise against going mid-day.

One of my favorite hiking spots. I love going early morning with a small group of friends. Take a camera to get some great shots. Also take plenty of water for the hike up, with some snacks to keep your energy going.
