Confirmed from Dry Gulch 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.

What runners say about Dry Gulch Trailhead

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (7 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

Nice trail to run up, safe and pathways well maintained. Started walking it then within months of training I was able to run it. Great for training and endurance. Running up this trail will get your stamina up along with your heart rate. Love the scenery!

What a terrific community resource! Nice hiking trails. Also picnic areas and restrooms. Even a water refill area, with water dish for dogs and a EV changing station.

★★★★★ — Andrew , Feb 2019

I took the big loop today. Beautiful time of year to go, and great for social distancing ;). Lots of sun make sure to wear your sunscreen.

★★★★★ — Amanda , Apr 2020

Could have better signage on the trail proper, but was otherwise pleasant.

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.
