Description

This is a paved 15.9 mile trail along Spring Creek that is a good out & back for almost 32 miles.  One way elevation gain is 360 feet, so double that as well if doing out & back. The trail connects several parks including Denise Johnson, Jesse Jones and John Pundt.  The trail has beautiful views of the creek and forested areas.  Trail signs and markers are helpful and educational.

Navajo Long Walk Route

Description

This Route is of great importance to my Navajo Tribe. This route, much like the Trail of Tears for the Cherokee tribe, carries a lot of weight and teaching. The government wanted to clear out the Navajo from their land, so in the coldest of winters they began this 400+ Mile journey. Many of my ancestors were lost during this route. They were forced to take on this journey because they were slaves, starved, and their villages burned. There was nothing left for them, not even hope until Chief Manuelito was able to negotiate our reservation of what we have today.
