. Ended up doing a mini loop de loop. Went CCW on the Lomitas trail. After exiting the "mini canyon"/wash (maybe .75 miles), I took a user trail south until I came to access road, which brought me to the first trail marker for the Hideout Loop. Then did the very short loop, that is the Hideout trail. The south side of the trail, which parallels an access road is "neh". The eastern part of the trail is kind of cool as it presents a snapshot into South Mountain's past. This area has been closed off for many years and so the road and structures have been left to age. (This may change with the park renovation that is ongoing). The northern/"canyon side" is actually a neat area. The trail interacts nicely with the wash and their is an intimate feeling brought on by the low rising hills. This loop is less than .5 miles long, so all sides of this loop are very fleeting. This trail is very easy to follow, as it is a common path used by a nearby stable, but there are only markers for this trail on the east side. The trail posts have the old decals, so there is a chance that this trail may eventual fade into South Mountains past. After completing the loop, I crossed the access road, and briefly used the Crosscut Loop trail, before connecting to the Ranger Trail. Took the Ranger Trail to where it intersects with the Lomitas and took that back to the Kiwanis TH.
