Confirmed from Girl Scout Mountain/North Mountain 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.

Picnic-ready park with mountain vistas for climbing, hiking and nature sightings.

What runners say about Girl Scout Mountain/North Mountain Park

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (52 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

🏞️ beautiful scenery 7 mentions

“U can see the greatest sunsets God has for u also, love this place, I hope they STOP builing there :( beautiful place ;)”

🌾 quiet & peaceful 3 mentions

“It's generally quiet, sporting several ramadas, some with fire place and toilets/trashcans adjacent.”

I would have given this place a 5 out of 5 but, we found broken glass all over the trails and around the picnic area. It doesnt make it very friendly for small kids or fur babies at certain spots. On a positive note, the trails were beautiful and easily managed by our pups and a toddler.

★★★★☆ — Samantha , Nov 2019

This is my favorite place for a quick hike! You can make the hike as easy or as challenging as the company you take along! It's a beautiful view when you get to the top!

★★★★★ — Wendy , Jul 2019

I truly love this park! True to other reviews, there is some glass and ongoing issues with graffiti. However locals and parks and recreation work hard to keep on top of people's lack of consideration. BUT!! This is my favorite place within Casa Grande to visit.

★★★★★ — Luke , Aug 2021

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.
