Confirmed from 12 Mile Trailhead's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.

What runners say about 12 Mile Trailhead

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (11 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

Beautiful and serene. A little buggy but not too bad. The trail is clearly marked both ways by orange spray paint on the trees.

★★★★★ — Kimberly , Aug 2021

Been up here several times now, on both sides of the road (inadvertently went on the wrong side the first time.. lol) but there are trails on both sides of the road if you park in the little dirt lot...

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.
