Confirmed from Bailey Canyon'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.
Area for hiking, including kid-friendly routes, and off-roading.
What runners say about Bailey Canyon
“Easy fire road with great views and maintained well enough for stock 4x4 vehicles”
“Me and my son went out there today it was peaceful and amazing best drive I ever took up a mountain”
It’s a good hike, but I recommend you go with someone as it can be scary by up there all alone. First 1.25 miles are the hardest as there is a steeper incline, then it levels out.
Was greeted by 2 very friendly little kittens who joined us on our little hike.
I wasn't sure if my 2×4 Tahoe would make it through the trail, so I just turned it around a few yards into it. Lol. Looks amazing, though. Street legal vehicles only. But I'm sure it'd be a good walking trail, too. Great views.
Amazing trail to drive, peaceful and the view is lovely! Enjoyed it with my boyfriend #jesse~espi# ❤️⛰️❤️
