We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of Dollar Mountain trail head 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.

🏞️ beautiful scenery 11 mentions

“Certainly more aggressive than many others but easily one of the quicker uphill cardio runs in the valley with some great viewing areas along the way.”

Beautiful trials with beautiful views. Covered in trees and beautiful flowers along the way...some easy and moderate trails to follow . Expect steep slopes .

★★★★★ — Sarah , Jun 2023

Such a good hike. Super steep but I love going uphill. The view was gorgeous and definitely worth the short hike.I took pictures about half way up when we paused 🤦 and forgot to take pictures of the view at the top.

★★★★★ — Alicia , Jan 2021

Certainly more aggressive than many others but easily one of the quicker uphill cardio runs in the valley with some great viewing areas along the way.

★★★★☆ — Joshua , Jan 2021

What a great hike! Well kept paths and relatively open woodlands, rewarding you with a vista of the entire city as you reach the top. We will return often. For first timers, you can park along the side of the road if the parking area is full. Also, the trail is opposite the parking up the hill. .

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.
