About 1/3 of a mile, that drops down into Hawk Ravine and climbs back out. Fun.

Runner Notes

This trail links up pretty seamlessly to the Prairie View Nature Trail and the Bird Blind Loop, and via those trails to others like Bluebird, Osprey Trail or the Field Campus Trail

Description

This trail's extremely short and to make a run out of it, it requires linkage with the other trails, but even when I'm exhausted I look forward to this section just because it's never boring. It drops precipitously into Hawk Ravine and then climbs just as precipitously out.

Flora & Fauna

Hard to notice anything when you're wrestling with gravity... the trail is the scenery here.
