Confirmed from Mount Marquette Loop'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.

“Great trail with great views.”

This a well worn trail around Mount Marquette. It starts off easy and wide but becomes more difficult as you go on. Surprisingly in a few spots it’s easy to get off on the wrong trail — the little blue signs all over but missing at a few crucial intersections. We used AllTrails navigation and got through ok.

★★★★☆ — John , Sep 2023

Awesome view. The walk is tough, I mean really tough starting at the bottom

★★★★★ — Shane , Sep 2024

There is a nice walking, biking trail. Beautiful benchs to rest on. A good hour walk.

★★★★★ — Tracy , Jan 2024

Great hike, well marked path. Some cross trails so having map downloaded on All Trails is smart.

★★★★★ — Douglas , May 2026

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.
