Confirmed from 13th Hole 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.

🏞️ beautiful scenery 3 mentions

“I only had time to hike about a mile of it, but there were great views, and the trail was very wide and easy to follow!”

I had a few people recommend this hike, so I decided to check it out! I only had time to hike about a mile of it, but there were great views, and the trail was very wide and easy to follow! The sign said the full loop was about 3-4 miles and not particularly difficult. It was pretty shaded at parts but not all.

★★★★★ — Brigham , Oct 2024

13th Hole Trailhead is a fun loop a little over 3 miles. It has some fun switchbacks both up and down and can be ran either direction. There is a paved parking lot just west of the actual trailhead.

★★★★★ — Joey , Jul 2024

Great little 3 mile loop, with break off junctions that go to other trails. Beautiful surroundings. Dog friendly, and scenic

★★★★☆ — Mike , Nov 2024

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.

“There is a nice parking lot (though it’s a sharp turn in so you might miss it if you’re not looking for it) with a bathroom and a drinking fountain.”
