Confirmed from Las Trampas Ridge 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 Las Trampas Ridge Trail
“Great view at the top but bring water and be ready for a challenging calf workout.”
Warning: don't try to access this trail via Bolinger Canyon Rd, even though it looks possible on Google Maps. It is a private road with the trailhead starting on private property with "no trespass" signs and hillbillies that will most likely shoot you if you do. Not worth it.
A great place to take yourself or your family and friends on a nice enjoyable hike. Get there early so you can find parking and tear up the place and enjoy the wilderness.
A nice hike with a beautiful view. The hills were green and lush. Spotted patches of wildflowers. Encountered very few people on the trail. Easy parking with bathrooms.
I was able to experience this amazing trail by hiking a small connector trail from San Damiano. It is breathtaking in the spring!
