Trails
There are several hiking trails through the park, access is limited to hikers and equestrians (on some trails). The trails are marked with unique trail signs and pass through a mix of second growth redwood forests and oak woodlands. In the lower elevations of the park the Miramontes Trail follows West Union Creek. The Lonely Trail climbs steeply from the valley to Skyline Boulevard. Wildlife in the park includes a variety of birds, Banana slugs, and the Coast Range Newt.
The park is bounded to the north by San Francisco watershed land, to the west by Skyline Blvd (CA Highway 35), and to the south by Huddart County Park. The area east of the park is private property and is off limits to hikers. Access to the trails is from the parking area in Huddart County Park (off Kings Mountain Road), where parking fees are waived if you mention that you are accessing the Phleger Estate. You can also access the park from a trailhead on Skyline Blvd.

“My noisy denunciation trails off in doubt.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“Life ... is not simply a series of exciting new ventures. The future is not always a whole new ball game. There tends to be unfinished business. One trails all sorts of things around with one, things that simply won’t be got rid of.”
—Anita Brookner (b. 1928)
