    The Paradise Valley Conservation Area Trail is a pretty route flanked by trees and ferns that offers a taste of nature to hikers of all skill levels. This route is shared by bikers and has some exposed roots, so keep an eye out as you go. There are lots of interconnecting trails in the park, so download your GPS ahead of time to stay on track.

    Begin from the trailhead, heading to the split. You can go either way, but we’ll describe the route clockwise. Keep left at the split onto Mainline Trail and then left again onto Wetland Plateau Trail. Go straight through two junctions and then take a sharp left onto Mainline Trail. Keep left to stay on this trail and then take a right onto Red Alder Trail. Stay on this trail until 106 Dr Trail, where you’ll connect to Cascara Trail, which takes you back to where you started via Whispering Firs Trail.
