Skyline High Point by LindaAnn  Overview Short side trail leading to the high point of Skyline Regional Park Getting there From the main parking area, head north, then northwest a short distance to Turnbuckle Trail. Take Turnbuckle north about 1.4 miles uphill to the signed start of Valley Vista Trail. Hike From the start, head south and uphill on what starts out as an old Jeep road. It quickly gives way to a trail, continuing to head south and steeply uphill. While steep, the footing is good. At the top, the trail flattens out, and there is a broad rocky area with views in all directions. Watch for snakes in the rocks during warmer weather. This vantage point allows for views of nearly the entire park and to the rest of the White Tanks looming to the north. Once done, retrace your steps back down to Turnbuckle Trail. You can return to the trailhead the way you came, or continue a loop on Turnbuckle back to the trailhead. Check out the Official Route and Triplogs.
