Confirmed from Arroyo Burro Trail 27W13'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 Arroyo Burro Trail 27W13
I have split this trail in 2 days so far due to the fact that as I hike I document in pictures. Taking pictures slows you down if that's your goal as I buy keep in mind you will run out of battery life! So many angles, different lighting, watch your step in treacherous areas and foremost have fun!
Quite a steep trail all the way up to Camino Cielo. Nice views of the city and not too many hikers. Ideal for trail running.
Rode up the fire road and dropped the trail on the backside on an amazing night ride. Awesome mtb trail!
