Confirmed from Estrella Mountain Competitive Track'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 Estrella Mountain Competitive Track
“Just a beautiful place in the desert.”
It’s probably my favorite in the West Valley. Rarely see a soul because it is relatively difficult. 5 miles of pure bliss! It’s fast too. I can normally blaze it out in 45 or less.
We came here for my stepsons cross country meet. The views and trails are beautiful. I love being about to see the race track also.
Long Loop is a fun Cross Country MTB ride. Went out there about three hours before dark and it was magical out in the desert. Felt like I was a cowboy but with a bike.
Love this trail. Surprisingly challenging 15mile long loop for mountain biking. Peaceful and beautiful hills. Safe trailhead for parking.
