Confirmed from Lone Mountain Hiking 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.

“It's a short easy hike that can be done in less than an hour or two, but the view doesn't disappoint.”

Living near the Lone Mountain Hiking Trail has its perks. This 2.2-mile out-and-back trail is practically in my backyard, making it a go-to spot for a quick dose of exercise and fresh air. If you're in the neighborhood, I highly recommend checking out this trail.

★★★★★ — Henry , Nov 2023

Nice trails.. Uphill and down.. Starts with dirt trail then ends up on a concrete path towards the big rocks..

★★★★☆ — Corey , Apr 2020

It's a nice little hill to hike. You get a great 360° view of Carson City. 😄

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.
