Confirmed from Dr. Rich Weiss Park'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.

🏞️ beautiful scenery 5 mentions

“Beautiful scenery, spectacular bridge, plenty of isolated trails, and a small hot spring!”

Absolute gem, disguised as an "ordinary" park. From the street, it doesnt appear to be anything too special. But if you park and proceed on foot, it's an entire different story. Beautiful scenery, spectacular bridge, plenty of isolated trails, and a small hot spring! Even more amazing, its FREE!

★★★★★ — Gaige , Sep 2020

Small road side Park near health and rec/hot springs. Rick features and hot spring run off into the Yampa are great for families with kids or just hanging out.

★★★★★ — Norbert , Jul 2017

Hands down the dopest park I've been to in Steamboat Springs Colorado. Even has a horse corral that you can get to on the trail.

★★★★★ — Masta , Jan 2018

Great place to walk around and just on the edge of the river, didn't go all the way around due to flooding.

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.
