Chipita Park Trail

Head up to the top of Mt. Esther and discover the Chipita Park Trail. This trail is slightly strenuous and climbs 700 feet in the first mile, but it’s well worth the effort once you get to the top! There’s a beautiful meadow, perfect for picnicking or enjoying a gorgeous sunset.
