Confirmed from Douglas Street 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.
Hiking, biking, and exploring a cave in an area that's good for kids.
What runners say about Douglas Street Trailhead
“The view is great from our house, but it's infinitely more stunning up close and personal.”
“Great place for a fun hike or run.”
Parking is a bit weird but plenty of street parking. First part of the trail is a bit rocky but once you make it to the bench is pretty even. I walked this trail with my 2 year old with no issues. We walked from Douglas to 9th street trailhead.
Such a nice parking area. Short but steep hike up to the canal Road, then many choices to pursue. Camel cave, BST, or just follow the canal north all the way to North Ogden.
We love walking in the hills above our house. The view is great from our house, but it's infinitely more stunning up close and personal. The varieties of different rocks. Every color imaginable.
Great place for a fun hike or run. People were jogging. We hiked up the mountain to the cave. Just don't forget your water 😊 good family fun
