Reviews

What great free outdoor trails during lovely weather and some blooming flowers 🌼. There was an event earlier in the day so many spots were filled but opened up by afternoon. Trails were great and the views of the water below with the flowers was incredible. Could even make a full loop if intended with the shared bike path, but we decided only to do the west bluffs and the interactive museum. Plus you can get some nice photos of the overhead planes leaving John Wayne
