Distance

2 miles out and back

Why We Love It

You would never expect to find secluded meadows and brush trails in the heart of these neighborhoods, but there they are. Get away without driving far at all!

Where to Refuel

Del’s Hideout (5351 Adobe Falls Road, Del Cerro) is kid friendly, with games and free soft-serve. For adults, there’s a big tap list and a “Ginormous Cinnamon Roll” on the weekend brunch menu.
