Confirmed from Glacier Pools Preserve'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 Glacier Pools Preserve
“It has some wide well kept trails for easy hiking.”
“Beautiful area that's very well maintained.”
“Well marked paths and a fun place to enjoy views and nature.”
“An easy walking park with 3-4 miles of woods and meadows dotted with vernal pools and interpretive signs.”
Beautiful. Well maintained even in the Winter. The scenery is gorgeous and the trail is moderately challenging. In the snow it's a perfect hike all the way around Chad's Trail. We can't wait to go back.
This is a great place to go hiking with kids as there are a lot of trailed to choose from which gives it variety. That being said, the uphill parts are very reasonable.and doable for our 2 year old. The vernal pools in the spring are fantastic for finding frogs and salamanders and such.
Great place for a quiet walk. Wildlife is in abundance. The vernal pools are especially great to visit early spring. There are lots of options for loop trails.
Nice easy hike. Not much incline, mostly flat, not rocky. Vernal ponds were nice pit stops.
