Cresta Roca & Timberlane Walks

GaLLT Walk — Cresta Roca and Timberlane connectors  (distance depends on chosen route)

The trail may be accessed from the end of Timberlane (entrance on the left) connecting with McDonald or if approaching from Cresta Roca, go to the end of Cresta Roca, turn left at the T-junction. Turn right and go to the end of McDonald, past Perry on the left. Look for a path through the woods to connect with Peterson—this trail can be impassably wet in winter.

From Peterson a link can be made along Dorby and Crocker to the TRAIL marker to the right on the south side of Petroglyph Way. To return directly to the start continue north on Peterson, turning right on North Road to Cresta Roca. From the corner of Timberlane and McDonald it is also possible to turn left to the end of McDonald and find a trail up the embankment to South Road where connections can be made in either direction.
