Confirmed from Hilltop Trails' 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 Hilltop Trails
“If you happened to find my Maui Jim sunglasses on this beautiful trail, would you please let me know?”
Great area with short dirt trails. The loop is about 1.5 miles with a few short cuts in between allowing for a variety of paths. There are some uphill and downhill sections, nothing too crazy. Great area for a quick trail run with some variety. There is no shade, just in case it's a hot day when you're headed here.
This is great place to bring your mountain bike! There are plenty of hill to clime and just as many downhills to send your bike down. But there is no shortage of cactus so be careful!
Nice single track trail for running, hiking or mountain biking. Great views and you always work to get and over the hills.
Short trails that offer a good workout for the beginning of the season. Short, but convenient if you happen to be nearby.

“The hills gave me the anaerobic exercise I needed, plenty of diversions, nice dirt curves to provide some sliding.”
