Glen Canyon Park

Glen Canyon Loop Trail is beautiful. Well maintained, great views!

Glen Park Canyon is a great area. I grew up here my whole life and I am 30 years old now. As a kid, I would always come here during field trips. There is a beautiful park in front with a tennis court and a recreation center with basketball courts and a soccer field. Behind there is a beautiful long trail that divides into two and intersect. It’s a really nice area to go when it’s a beautiful day to pass time. I would recommend bring food so you can enjoy a few hours of picnic with your family and maybe go hiking. I would recommend bringing hiking shoes or something sturdy because there are a lot of rocks. note: there are coyotes in this area, but please do not be scared and do not leave your animals alone. They are not harming anybody but it’s safer to be with your animals and they are not a threat to humans.

An excellent picnic or hiking spot with various trails of various difficulties. Did the coyote crags trail, wasn't very difficult, has interesting rocky terrain at points and overall felt very satisfying getting to the end.

This was my first time hiking here and it was a beautiful place. The trails should be better maintained, as there was overgrowth from plants on the trails, especially closer to the creek. There were beautiful purple wildflowers in bloom on the hillside in the grasses. The one thing that scared me was a coyote sighting in the afternoon. Fortunately, there were other people with me and the coyote eventually walked away after staring directly at me for a while. It was a good thing that there was a sign that described the different trails and level of difficulty. Easy, Moderate, and Challenging were the types of trails clearly labeled with a map. I started on the easy Gum Tree Girls Trail and connected to the moderate Islais Creek Trail.

We came here for an afternoon walk after lunch in the city. The walking trails are mostly flat with stairs here and there and the scenery is also great. There are trees ranging in size from gigantic to med sized to ground covers. We came during the rainy weeks and there were plenty of blooms and unusual lichens and mosses covering the ground and larger trees. The biodiversity in flora for a smallish park in the middle of urban is amazing. There is also a children’s park with play structures. Overall this is a nice place to spend a couple of hours in.
