3.60 km

Trail through the Peters Canyon Regional Park, starting at the intersection of Canyon View Ave and Jamboree Rd and going down to the Lower Reservoir. The path is sand and gravel - and it has some rough patches and areas washed out, but a joy nonetheless.
It is part of the ‘Mountains to Sea Trail’. And the Peters Canyon Trail continues further south, but is paved after passing the Lower Reservoir.
