Confirmed from Alpine Valley 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 Alpine Valley Trailhead
I'm from southern Indiana where there is similar topography, and I was very impressed with this trail! The trail winds through a ski slope which was really cool. Only 1.5 hrs. from the north side of Chicago and you feel like you're somewhere unique.
I grew up skiing.Here is a little boy. I really had a lot of fun back then. I think the trails were fun and a great work out. More downhill sections please less climbing.....
Awesome trails. Not for the faint of heart, make sure you are in good shape before hitting these! Lots of uphill climbing.
The trails are a blast. You earn every downhill by grinding up those hills! We will definitely be coming back!
Trail conditions & character
“There were a lot of challenging obstacles, many hills to climb, and the length was just right.”
