Confirmed from Loveland Mountain Park'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 Loveland Mountain Park

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (13 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

I go up the hiking trails here a lot to Stone Mountain and Sheep Mountain. The trail is moderately steep, especially in the beginning, but was excellent to work up to doing Long's Peak.
