Confirmed from Flint Canyon Trail/Commonwealth Ave'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 Flint Canyon Trail/Commonwealth Ave
Limited street parking, it’s easier to park at Hahamonga or Owl Canyon to hike here. This section of the Flint Canyon Trail is kinda ho-hum, mostly going behind the yards of big houses.
