Maple Canyon Trail

Great urban trail for a nice stroll with your dogs or little ones. I work one block from the Quince trailhead and never knew this was here. I always assumed this canyon was filled with rattlesnakes, rodents, skunks and maybe even a coyote or bobcat. However, it’s really not… The only wild life we saw was a bunch of squirrels.
We parked on Fourth by the Quince St. bridge and walked over the bridge. Once you reach the other side of the bridge (on Third), turn right and you’ll see the path on your right. You head down to the bottom and walk for about ¾ of a mile. At the end, you can either turn around or walk up through the neighborhood, which we choose. You end up at the Spruce St. suspension bridge and then you’ll only a few blocks from where you started. The whole thing was 2 miles and my fitbit claimed we went up 20 flights of stairs. So it’s not an epically long hike, but perfect if you want a quick workout in a central location.

A pretty small trail but irs a great location. You get a good view on the bankers hill area and its very peaceful. Its great for a power stroll and offers good incline distances. If your looking to explore the natural beauty of bankers hill or just want to get a good cardio workout in without heading out of downtown, this is a good trail to do it.
