We arrived in the early afternoon and there were few cars at the mountain top parking lot.  We hiked Ginny's trail to the Bonnie and Clyde trail encountering few hikers.  The forest was beautiful and serene.  In general, it was very easy to maintain social distance and most hikers did not wear masks.  We then connected to the Ridge Trail which has many unlabeled and unmapped forks.  We lost the main trail, but eventually found our way back to the top parking lot and enjoyed the spectacular views.

We parked at the very first parking area (because I suck at following driving directions) and took the Rooty Trail up first. It was very quiet, and we had the trail to ourselves for the most part, other than two bikers on their way down. It was all shaded--a perfect shield for the hot day. The trail wasn't difficult persay, but it was a climb that we weren't entirely mentally prepared for. We made our way over to the Bonnie & Clyde trail and continued our way up that way, then took Ginny's Trail to the summit. The trail definitely narrows, with roots forming your footholds at some points. There were a couple other groups hanging out but there were still lots of room for social distancing. The viewing area was very hot at that time of day, so after a couple of photos, we settled on a shaded bench to catch our breath before heading back down. This time, we walked on the paved road back to the first parking area. 

This place has trails that all interconnect and cross so make sure you have a map with you so you don't get lost. 

There are many starting points but I drove all the way to the top and parked there. I started at the look outs and then hiked around the mountain. There were a good amount of people based on the cars parked but the park is so big and so many trails I barely ran into anyone. There are different lengths and difficulties of trails suitable for all hikers. 

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.
