Confirmed from Kaxdigoowu Heen Dei Trail'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 Kaxdigoowu Heen Dei Trail
This well maintained, paved, wheelchair-accessible trail is great for hiking, biking, jogging, and horseback riding, as well as cross country skiing in the winter. It meanders the Mendenhall River and, on clear days, it offers views of the Mendenhall Glacier. This 2.
Awesome hike to Thunder Mountain. Steep and fun. Blueberry patches were dope, took a break there. Our day was the perfect day to hike it.
