Confirmed from Lonesome Chair'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 Lonesome Chair
“was done in about 17 minutes, great view”
Super quick run hike up to the top...was done in about 17 minutes, great view
Needs more chair! It was a good hike and great view. Sadly, there was no chair to relax on at the top. I did make an ”x” to mark where I imagined the chair to be.
Lonesome chair has a sad lack of chair, but it was a good hike and the views were nice.
Fairly short hike and pretty steep in some places but a nice view of the AV at the top.
