Confirmed from Cushman Trail - Grandview 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.
Park featuring a paved trail that's good for walking and biking.

I meet my girlfriend here regularly for a good walk. Parking is easy at the trailhead. The entire trail goes 2 ways, is about 6 miles long and has space for bikes as well. It has a bit of an incline, so you get a decent walk. The trail doesn't have any fancy views but is pleasant in all weathers.
Parked my car here for two hours while I walk the trail and thankfully it was not broken into. The trail is quite nice to walk. At this trailhead you can hear the sound of the highway, as well as see it.
Pretty challenging, can have some wonderful views. Absolutely love the birds on the trail. Took one star only because people let their dogs poop on the trail without picking it up. Also! Don't leave things out in your car, there have been break-ins.
