Valleyview Silt Cliffs
A wonderful collection of trails and routes starts at Valleyview Arena. Cross the road across from the parking lot and follow the double track up the gully (to the east). At the end of the gully you have 3 route choices. All routes go up onto the bench then either skirt gullies or go through them onto the next bench. A few years ago, this area was wide-open all the way to Barnhartvale, but there are now some fences, some signs, and some restricted areas. Find your route (use the map below) and return here at least twice a year to enjoy the grassland benches and gullies. Lots of wildflowers and if you are quiet there is wildlife and many silt cliff features including sinkholes, erosion gullies and rilled claybanks.
