Little Mountain Park - Up Quick, Little Mountain Park - Bonnie and Clyde Loop — Friday, Jun. 19, 2020

Was looking to get out of the house so took my 15 month old daughter out to hike in Little Mountain Park.  We turned up at the main gate at 0700 only to find the City doesn’t open it up until 1000. We drove around the park and found parking off James St on the south border of the park. All the trails were clear since the park wasn’t technically open but did come across three other parties, two hiking and one mountain biking. I’m not sure how popular this gets with mountain bikers but since so many of the trails are shared I liked that we got there early so we didn’t have to deal with them. Trails were in good shape but if you’re looking for a true hike this isn’t probably it. Once you gain a little elevation there’s pretty consistent noise from the freeway since it’s only a mile or so away but it’s a nice nature experience within the city. Views were great though and you can do a number of different trails in one venue. Forewarning there was a caution sign at the entrance saying a cougar had been spotted in the area but we didn’t see any signs of it.
