Confirmed from Hidden Falls Park & Amargosa Trailhead'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.

★★★★★ — Joel , Feb 2018

Great night for a quick hike. Lots of room to take your dogs. Plenty of parking. Lots of trails to chose from. Coming back during the day for a longer trek.

★★★★★ — Steven , Aug 2025

First time at these trails. Took my dog and walked a fairly level path for my introduction. Plus is was getting late. Looks like a place I definitely want to return to and explore. The only down part for me is I can have a difficult time walking. And, my dog & I veered off the main Trail.

★★★★★ — K , Apr 2018

Beautiful hiking experience at 10pm. Very clean and there are rocks to sit at on the top of the hill. Even toddler friendly as long as they hold an adult hand at all times.

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.

🐕 Dog-friendly 16 mentions

“One of many Henderson parks where the people walk thier dogs outside of the dog area without leashes and 50% never pick up after their pets.”
