Overview
This is a moderate loop trail in Alien Run Recreation Area. Interesting rock formations. Fun alien theme. Definitely mountain bike oriented but also a great hike. Limited elevation changes make this an easier hike than the distance would suggest.
Some may find sound from multiple oil well sites intrusive. Others will find these installations interesting.

Taking Children
