Hiking
Cathedral Canyon hike. If you are looking for a quick hike you can drive 4 minutes up to the top of the neighborhood. Put 38957 Vista Drive in your map app. You'll arrive at a fence and water tower. There's a gap in the fence. Once on the other side walk along the side of the levy. It will take you up to another fence where you'll walk to the center of the wash and go under the fence (3ft high opening). You can walk up the canyon a couple of miles. It's a slight incline but stunning scenery and great look-back views of the valley floor. It's mostly neighbors who use this trail so you won't mee a lot of people along the way - best not to do it alone. For more adventurous types.
