Confirmed from Bruce Brockett Trailhead'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 Bruce Brockett Trailhead
“Super scenic with plenty of spots to get off the trail and into the creek.”
“Great hike 10/10, go early to avoid the sun being too bright since there isn’t much shade.”
Good easy trail! Bruce Beckett is an up and over that joins Bell, to skip this, take 2 nd entrance on the left instead of the overflow parking area.
Nice trail for a family hike but take lots of water. Super scenic with plenty of spots to get off the trail and into the creek. Not much shade for most of the way. Once you reach The Crack, there are tons of cool places to jump off the rocks and into the creek.
It's a bit of a tough hike. Took the pup out first time and carried him back. Bring lots of water and take your time to enjoy the scenery. The end result is a beautiful hike and a tired pooch.
This was a great hike. Barely any other hikers. Ran into two other people. Beautiful area. Nice hike with the doggies.
