Hiking

✅ Before you go:

❗️Heads up: 
• The turn into the parking lot can be easy to miss, so keep your eyes peeled as you get close. 
• Paradise Valley is a system of trails, so go in with an idea of how long you’d like to hike and make a plan from there using information on the trail markers. 

💪 Pro-tips:
• The mainline trail is wide and goes through the whole trail system so always come back to it if you aren’t sure where you’re going or are ready to head back. The trail markers make it easy to find.
