Note that the track covers almost everything in the park proper. Just one segment of Chapparal got left out where we turned off to other connecting trails. [The lake loop trail looked like it was underwater. We passed on that too.]
It's an interesting trail system tucked into a tight space, closely surrounded by neighborhoods. Not unlike Joaquin Miller in Oakland, some of the perimeter trails run right along lines of backyard fences. You may smell more than one barbecue as you ride.
Lots of fall line stuff. Not too many ledges or high risk features. Lots of short hard climbs. A very up and down place with hard pack topped with loose crumble. Really made me wish I had remote lockout for the suspension.
A couple trails have good long hairpin practice zones. Like this one (Finch) we did up and down.

Today's ride was 12.3 miles, which required repeating some sections.
2100 ft of climb.
2hr02min moving time
2hr40min total time
Average heart rate for me was 144. Probably because we exited on a fire road with a long easy decline.
And yeah, don't believe Google Maps when it tells you where the park entrance is.
