Confirmed from Bonito Canyon Park'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 park was nice and quiet. Alot of people taking there dogs on walks it seemed like everyone knew each other the would stop and visit each other. It appeared that most of the people there lived right around there.
The dogs loved running around and getting hosed down when they got home.
