Canal #408
The Canal Trail #408 begins at Forest Service Road 738, Brush Creek Road, and ends at an intersection with the Strand Bonus Trail #407. The trail travels through an open meadow on the side of Strand Hill, slowly gaining elevation. After crossing the meadow, a canal must be crossed, which can be high during the summer months. The trail begins a moderate climb as it contours the lower, northeast part of Strand Hill. There are spectacular views of Teocalli and the east river valley.
