Confirmed from Cache Creek 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.

🐕 dog-walking favorite 3 mentions

“Nice make-your-own-adventure trails close to town, and dog-friendly!”

Great trails nearby Jackson for dog friendly adventuring! When we went, there were people out but the trails weren’t crowded and we went long periods without running into anyone. Dogs are allowed. They must be on leash in designated areas near the parking lot and for a short distance onto the trail.

★★★★★ — Claire , Jan 2025

Great multi use trail. Saw casual walkers, runners, cross-country skiers, snowshoers, and fat bikes on this trail. Runs parallel to the creek and in the valley of 2 mountain sides.

★★★★★ — Mark , Jan 2022

As a local resident this is our favorite go-to trail for hiking. You will find us and our pug on the trail 5 days a week doing variations of loops. This trail is the best trail to get out and get a workout in or do some out in mountain biking. Most the tourist head out to GTNP.

★★★★★ — Tim , May 2021

Better than what I expected! Photos on here don't do justice, and I wish I took photos. Absolutely beautiful, family friendly. I think we took Hagen trail, we didn't complete the whole hike, however we really enjoyed it.

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.

🐕 Dog-friendly 14 mentions

“We saw lots of people with dogs - didn't bother us, most were leashed or very good dogs, people were good distancing and it was enjoyable!”
