Confirmed from Margaret Pearson Interpretive 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.

Went on a guided plant walk, whish was a lot of fun. All kinds of cool stuff out there and it's gorgeous as a whole. I even made a friend.
