Confirmed from Mountain Creek 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.
What runners say about Mountain Creek trail
This is a nice, easy hike up to the summit of Mountain Creek Resort. We saw tons of bikers along the way on our 800 vert hike to the summit of this mountain. As long as you stay out of the bike trails on the way up and down from the summit, all will go well. The hike up and back takes about an hour and a half.
This place is an amazing fun time for mountain bikers and families. They have a lot of things to do here besides some of the finest trails for mountain bikers.
