Wild Rose Loop Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

The Wild Rose Loop Trail is a little bit removed from the rest of the Cathedral Hills Trail system, making it a nice option if you want to escape the crowds of hikers, bikers, runners, and the occasional horseback rider. This trail is still pretty popular, however, so you'll probably see other folks out. To access this loop trail from the main area, follow the West (or "W") Trail from the Backside Loop.
