This is Bakersfield’s staple bike riding trail. Long vast trail with much to see. In certain areas you do have to be cautious of people walking the trail with their families and/or dogs but for the most part they are considerate of people on bikes.

We stopped by to see the birds just as the males were doing their mating dances. We were entertained for two hours as the peacocks did their dances. Their tails in full spread, and the females doing their little dance.
