Leg 1 - Burkett park > WS to LL Connector > Roller Coaster Trail > West Potts Creek > East Potts Creek Trail

Leg 2 - East Potts Creek Trail > Burkett Trail > Burkett Park

East, fitness hike along dry and easy to traverse trails. A few portions of Roller Coaster wer a little more difficult due to loose stones and dirt on the downslopes. No animal, bird or reptile activity seen. I saw some spiders (photo attached) and lots of grasshoppers.

A short but pleasant hike.

NOTES

Water, shade, info kiosk and dry toilets available at Burkett Park.
