Out in Nature
A lovely place to hike only a mile up the road--plenty of butterflies, jackrabbits and deer. We have local mountain lions so it is wise to go there when others are around... No dogs or bicycles...

This place is less populated than Edgewood but just as close and beautiful. There is an off leash area for dogs.

Pulgas Ridge Preserve
This place is less populated than Edgewood but just as close and beautiful. There is an off leash area for dogs.
A gorgeous local garden with a hefty entrance fee but well worth the trip if you're a flower or local history buff... Now and then they host longer hikes, the only one always open is a flat mile.
