Confirmed from Mills Canyon - Arguello'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 Mills Canyon - Arguello
“Peaceful little canyon hike in the middle of suburbia!”
A great and easy area to park with tons of space and visibility. Awesome short spunky hike with great markings and care. A great place for a quick workout with very few folks. I only saw 4 people total and 3 dogs. Quiet and peaceful. Also, spectacular million-dollar views at certain points!
Shaded trail, nice view, did a loop with my dog, it’s a 1 hour easy hike. There is a creek in the middle of the park, my dog went down to the creek and played in the water.
Peaceful little canyon hike in the middle of suburbia! On one route there is no noise except a babbling brook. Definitely hilly.
