Confirmed from Hidden Valley Regional 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.
Public park offering a children's playground and picnic areas, as well as tennis and pickleball courts.
What runners say about Hidden Valley Regional Park
“Hidden valley regional park is about a 6 mile circluar walk that gives great views of the surrounding area, that can also lead into taken great photos.”
Seems like an entirely different planet if you know where to go. I love hiking in this area. There are a few things to keep in mind like beware of rattle snakes and the occasional sand scorpion. But as the old saying goes, "If you don't want any trouble, don't put yourself in that position to begin with.
Hidden Valley Regional Park is a nice place to visit and hike at. There are a few different trail loops in the park. I hiked the Highland Loop trail which is about a 2 mile loop and offers great views of the park and the Reno area. Worth visiting for a short hike.
Good hike if you’re feeling brave and want to stay in the city. Is much more of a challenge than you’d think, yet rewarding
Awesome views! Great sun filled hikes in the cooler seasons. Kinda intolerable in the Summer aside from early mornings

“Other than that, I have no issues all the people there are really nice and friendly so are the little dogs.”
“Hidden valley regional park is about a 6 mile circluar walk that gives great views of the surrounding area, that can also lead into taken great photos.”
“I like to do a loop that starts with a step hill (reddish color) and follow the path, always to the left so it can loop around, I think it's about 4 miles”
“The entrance is a small strip of road leading to dirt roads and a parking lot that can be a little hidden to new visitors.”
