Confirmed from Chubb Trail — West Tyson 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 Chubb Trail — West Tyson Trailhead
“It's well maintained and perfectly meanders through the woods.”
“There are some beautiful visuals of God's work out here.”
Amazing Trail system!!! I wish the Chubb Enduro features would be left open year around. Besides that, so worth coming to ride, or hike. There are some beautiful visuals of God's work out here. Thank you to everyone involved in the maitanence, and creating of these trails. They are brilliant!
It’s moderate but tail has lot of stones. One needs to be careful when hiking after rain. Please watch out for switch back after 1.5 mile in to trail otherwise you may head into private property. We did Chubb trail plus lone elk trail loop. Great place to hike in fall colors.
A hidden gem between bustling cities that's a moderate hike. It's at the end of a road of campsites and very low-key with amenities, but not busy, even in the evening. There is only a single port-a-potty; I wish areas like these would just put in a composting toilet.
Great trail but hard to follow without previous knowledge or GPS if you are intending to do the full trail.
Trail conditions & character
“This trail is somewhat tough, but good if you're training for climbing / rough rocky terrain.”
“A long hilly section on the Tyson end, and a long flat section on the Lone Elk end, except the final half mile or so.”
“There are some beautiful visuals of God's work out here.”
“A good 1 to 2 hour loop with connector trails for much longer.”
“The west Tyson entrance had bathrooms available but the lone elk entrance does not.”
