The Dry Creek Trail in the fall is an awesome place to go for a walk or run. There are definitely times that are more high traffic, e.g., nice weather, weekends, but it is manageable even in a crowded day due to the space to either side of the trail if you adhere to social distancing. Be aware that the majority of the folks are not wearing masks! There are a couple of stations for dog duty bags and a bathroom by the children's park. Many people take their dogs for a walk there and the majority are well behaved (90%). Some stretches are cooler than others due to the shade the trees provide. There's also parking at Sunnyside and Shepherd.

First time at site 80 and for the night it wasn’t so bad. There is a small port a potty by the campsite which was convenient but small and a little tight. We arrived around 2:30pm and thankfully it was shaded 🙌 that tree made a difference! Not so much in the morning but it was a beautiful morning so not too bad. I’d camp there again. I wished there were more pictures of campsites so that’s why I’m posting these.
