Trail Facts:  This commuter trail runs alongside Brunswick Road; after it crosses Idaho-Maryland Road, it ascends through meadows and woods to Loma Rica Road. The stretch along Brunswick Road crosses two irrigation ditches and passes by the attractive Loma Rica Ranch. (The trail does a jog at the ranch driveway. If headed south, go down the drive to pick up the trail. If headed north, go up the drive).
