We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of Colinas Ridge Trail yet from its own listing, the park's website or runner reviews — so those cells stay blank rather than guess. What is below comes straight from the listing and from reviewers' own words. 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.

Absolutely Beautiful Trail, Stunning Views, Loved it....We’ll be back for sure
I absolutely love this trail my boyfriend takes it quite frequently and I've just started to enjoy it with him and by myself along with our pup. It can go all the way to the beach then some. If you've got a chance to go at least 2 miles in or more you'll get a beautiful view and and scenic treat.
Great easy trail to go to after a long day at the office! Beware of rattlesnakes, saw one crossing!
