Confirmed from Little Park 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.
What runners say about Little Park Trailhead
“A maze of trails with a range of difficulties and great views.”
Andy's Loop down to the Ribbon junction is views, caves and a generally easy walk except for the grad (gets and stays a bit steep in places) Surprisingly little exposure for the wonderful views. That said plenty of places to get a wonderful overlook if your okay with the heights Other side of the road is Gunny Loop.
Did this trail in February still had some snow in areas and a little muddy. But the trail connected to rattlesnake trail which had great sun exposure meaning nice clear trail. It took you around a small canyon. Had beautiful views. Overall easy fairly flat hike.
My dog and I hike here twice a week and find the mostly graveled trails nice with very few people around. Great mountain bike trails as well. So nice to get the pup off the leash.
A maze of trails with a range of difficulties and great views. Hikers might want to avoid busy weekends with more bikes hitting the trails. Geocachers will enjoy the variety.
