Ballardini Open Space Hike

This trail is in the high desert with no shade, so a hat and sun protection would be helpful (if it was the middle of summer). It is well-marked and rocky in places, so wearing proper hiking shoes is recommended. The trail is easy to navigate and you can get a nice view of the mountain ranges along the way. Parking is easy, and restrooms are available.

Join us for this 3 to 4 miles hike with around 300 elevation gain.
