Confirmed from Agua Caliente Trail'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 Agua Caliente Trail
“Beautiful trail and would love to visit here again.”
Beautiful trail and would love to visit here again. This was an hidden trail gem which I went to recently and I would recommend visiting this hike/trail. There is a 6.7 mile loop which you can cover on this trail and more miles if you want to touch monument peak regional reserve point.

I really enjoy this trail , best part is its connected to Ed r levin park which has lot of amazing things like paragliding , dog park , beautiful lake, big…
