Confirmed from H-Rock Open Space'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.

Beautiful place to hike, watch fireworks or get a little bit out of the city a moments notice. Also a good place to step in unpicked up dog poo, glass broken by confused teenagers and whiff a scent of Mary Jane’s cologne.
Great place to take a date and watch the sunset lots of hiking overall great look out point to see the Salt Lake valley
Nice little spot to watch the sunset and see downtown Salt Lake City. If it isn’t to hazy and the path isn’t to crowded it is a relaxing walk.
Beautiful view with an easy walk (to the lower part of the H! Especially lovely night time view of the valley!
