Description

Start at the Peaceful Valley Ranch parking lot and head to the northeast. There are many wildlife trails in the area and some markers may be broken off by bison. In less than a mile, the trail intersects with the paved Park road.

Runners and horseback riders can continue on to the Jones Creek Trail and do a loop of over 11 miles in the park or stop at the parking lot at the intersection of the CCC Trail and Jones Creek Trail. This trail is very flat and during wet conditions may have swampy areas, or once conditions dry, may have numerous dried bison tracks which can make for an undesirable trail surface.

Flora & Fauna

Bison, white-tailed deer.

The trail moves through the bottomland in the park, giving you some nice views.  There is little tree cover, so make sure to wear a hat and sunscreen, and have enough water for your trip.

There is one creek crossing that you need to navigate, which could be trickier if water levels are up.

The trail is a narrow dirt singletrack that winds its way from Peaceful Valley Ranch to the Jones Creek Trailhead.  It passes through where the CCC camp was located in the 1930s. It was the CCC that helped build a lot of the park trails.
