RMOTHG Trip – Reynolds Park - Songbird and Eagle's View Trails

We'll be hiking a loop around Reynolds Ranch Park starting from the Reynolds Ranch Trailhead, making our way up the Raven's Roost Trail to the intersection with the Eagle's Nest Trail. We'll follow the Eagle's Nest Trail to the overlook where we'll stop and admire the amazing view. (Extra credit to the group members that can correctly identify the most peaks. We can also use this viewpoint to plan some future hikes to those peaks.) This will also be our lunch/snack spot. We'll continue our loop route along the Eagle's Nest Trail to the Oxen Draw Trail where we'll descend along a small creek. The finish will include a section of the Elkhorn Loop Trail. Our pace will be determined by the strength, stamina, and endurance of the group. Overall ~4 miles and ~1000 ft elevation gain. (Reynolds Park - Eagle's View - CalTopo)
