Confirmed from Arizona Veterans Memorial (Eternal Flame)'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.

“The Arizona Veterans Memorial is an absolutely beautiful, peaceful park!”

I used to run on this trail along the river quite frequently. I always loved coming here right at sunset when the flame is lit. Definitely a place to be to feel relaxed & soak in the moment.

Another beautiful sunrise 🌅... right next to Colorado River. A great 👍 place for a walk and enjoy a peaceful morning.

★★★★★ — Anna , Oct 2020

This place is exceptionally gorgeous. Great place to relax and commemorate those that served, right along the river. Mohave county is such a gorgeous place. Scenic beauty all through out. I enjoyed every minute here!

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.
