Confirmed from Cathedral Hills' 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.

🏞️ beautiful scenery 14 mentions

“So beware that you'll be stopped at the bottom of a major incline so study your map and be ready, but it's absolutely beautiful ride.”

Absolutely beautiful! Especially this time of year; the trails are colorfully lined with all kinds of gorgeous wildflowers. It's a must see, for sure!

★★★★★ — Chelsea , Apr 2022

Great spot with miles of different hikes in many different levels of difficulty. Some very easy with little elevation gain and others you'll wish you chose a different path! The trails are very well maintained. Tons of poison oak off the trails and the mosquitos will get you in the evening. This spot is awesome 👌👏

★★★★★ — Mitch , May 2021

A great trail system with lots of differing difficulties and choices. Absolutely beautiful, whatever time of year. In the winter, I loved all of the different mushrooms there were growing everywhere, spring the Wildflowers are INCREDIBLE! Summer, it's so green!

★★★★★ — Breanna , Mar 2024

Nice trails from easy to moderate. Lots of elevation opportunities. Lovely wildflowers in bloom. Would be great if there was any kind of water available. It was a warm day and it’s easy to go through all your water before completing your hike.

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.
