I would suggest this for kids that hike on a regular basis as there is a lot of uphill! The trail is narrow in spots and be aware to stay on trail as their is poison oak. The trail starts near the parking area of the reservoir in Lithia Park, and heads up Glenview Drive, eventually turning onto Ashland Loop Road. From there you will climb fire road and asphalt, making your way toward the White Rabbit Trail head. From there you will hit the Bandersnatch trail about a mile which will zig zag you up toward the ridge, and then you will bomb back down the "other side" of Bandersnatch, eventually connecting back with Glenview Drive and back to where you started from.

This is a great hike for kids because it isn't too long. If you want to take the loop to the right you the hike up is less intense with a gradual incline. Of course amazing views at the top and a perfect spot to have a picnic.

We love this hike for a fairly short hike with a big bang view at the end. Our kids loved chasing lizards, and building rock sculptures and we felt safe enough to let them wander alone a bit. Easy hike for littles that are just starting to walk.
WHITE RABBIT - UHTOFF LOOP TRAIL

Kid-Friendly | Dog-Friendly
Moderate Hike | 1.8 Miles | No Restroom
The trail starts fairly easy with wide a wide open trail. You will take a left at the marker for Caterpillar; you will go left and continue until you get to the Mike Uhtoff trail. It will be a pretty steep climb up until and then you will level out for a bit and then you will meet back up with the White Rabbit Trail. If you want a great picture go down to the right and you will see huge boulders on the right with gorgeous views of south Ashland.
