I’ve always liked Bridle Trails. It’s a nice quick escape if you want to get some greenery, but aren’t looking for a hike that will take up your whole day. The trail is easy to navigate and good for any fitness level. It’s also a nice way to get some solitude – the trail never manages to feel crowded, even on days like today where the parking lot was full.
Any car can get to the trailhead. Sometimes the parking lot is relatively empty on a sunny weekend; today it was full when I arrived at 12:30pm but there was plenty of roadside parking available nearby. I used a small bit of pine-scented bugspray and came home with no bites. (I probably would have been fine without it though - some bugs were out but not the biting type.)
At times you’ll hear ambient car sounds from the nearby roads, but that’s not a dealbreaker for me. In my book it doesn’t detract from the beauty.
No horses on the trail today, though sometimes you’ll see 3 or 4 riding groups when you’re out on the weekend.
Would recommend.
