The
Evergreen Hotel has three
hiking trails. They are known as
Bluebird, Hawk, and Heron. All three share the same trailhead. They are
blazed with signs and colored arrows.
Look Out Rock
The Bluebird Trail is the shortest at 0.18 miles (0.28 kilometers) and
is nearly level. It is an out-and-back trail with a short loop at the
end. It passes by the Look Out Rock and a picnic area. The Bluebird
Trail uses blue signs.
Pride Rock
The Hawk Trail is 0.84 miles (1.36 kilometers) long. It uses red signs.
It is a loop trail which should be walked in a clockwise direction. The
signs are not visible in the other direction. It begins by paralleling
the Bluebird Trail and it includes two additional landmarks, Gospel Oaks
and Pride Rock, both of which are indicated by signs.
Pride Rock
The Heron Trail is the longest of the three at 1.32 miles (2.13
kilometers) in length. It is blazed in green. The Heron Trail should be
followed in a counter-clockwise direction so its signs will be visible.
It follows the course of the Hawk Trail (but in the opposite direction)
and then adds a loop trail to the west.
Gospel Oaks
The Evergreen Nature Trails are not well-marked, especially the Heron
Trail. Making this worse is the great inaccuracy of the trail map. The
map in this guide is much more accurate.
