We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of Beverly Canyon Trailhead yet from its own listing, the park's website or runner reviews — so those cells stay blank rather than guess. What is below comes straight from the listing and from reviewers' own words. 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 Beverly Canyon Trailhead
“Beautiful place to meditate and connect with nature.”
Very good trail to go mountain biking, I can never really tell you how long it my take on these trails, for I be present with everything taking whatever kind of pictures that catch my heart.
Was a great hike! We took the route to Ridgeline Trail, and I didn't think it was gonna be that "intense". Starts off by going up, and then GOING UP 😁. But it has great views of the city. The trail basically goes up and down a bit, then up higher and down a bit, then up even higher.
This is one of my favorite hikes in the valley! It's a great place to get started when wanting to check out what hiking is all about. There are also ways to make this trail more challenging when you wanna push yourself. It's a popular trail, and most folks are friendly and helpful, so it's good for solo hiking too!
A fairly easy hike. About 4 miles round trip, Maybe 800 elevation. I personally like Mormon trail better, better views and more unique at the top, including fatans pass.
Trail conditions & character
“We only had time to go a half mile or so in, so I can only imagine the views get better the deeper into the mountains you go, farther from the city.”
“We took a different trail back to the parking lot, which also had great views within the "canyon".”
