Known as the family adventure trail. Zig zags across the pumice fields at the top. Some of the turns are lined with pavers. There a few rock gardens along this trail, but everything is very mellow and family friendly. At the bottom, turn left on Beach Cruiser to go around Reds Lake or turn right for a shorter route. Link up to Mountain View and Beach cruiser for flowy fun or to White Bark and Richter for more advanced features.
