South Suburban Reservoir Loop via Ponderosa in Stratton Open Space

From Stratton Forest Heights, the route joins Cresta Trail and Ponderosa Trail through Stratton Open Space’s foothill scrub and scattered pines.

It follows Ponderosa past Arroyo Grande to Ridge Trail, reaching the South Suburban Reservoir area.

The walk then rounds the reservoir setting before returning north through the same quiet, neighborhood-edge open space.
