We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of Electric Hills Trailhead 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.
What runners say about Electric Hills Trailhead
“Some shade on the gorgeous Flux Capacitor trail.”
The views from the trail of Glenwood canyon are spectacular. A recently refurbished CCC set of concrete picnic benches and fire pits waits use at the top, along with a log two seater privy
This was a fabulous hike! So many different trails to follow with different levels of difficulty. I even ran across a beautiful waterfall. I didn’t know this existed in town.
The beginning of a great trail system at this point. Many upgrades coming in the near future.
Lots of trails, some flat, others hilly. Some shade on the gorgeous Flux Capacitor trail. Came back on "Ohmward bound" trail, obviously! 🤣🤣 See trail map in photos.
