Confirmed from Mountain Trails - Front Royal'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 Trails - Front Royal

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (73 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

Love this place. All the staff are knowledgeable and super friendly. Kathy and Charlie are awesome, and the pups that come in are wonderful. I love that they help support Basecamp (a shower, laundry and rest facility) for hikers of the Appalacian trail and elsewhere.

★★★★☆ — Tammie , May 2021

They have an incredible selection and pack more in to their small space than many larger stores I've been to. Plenty of resupply and the staff was very personable and a big help. They have an arrangement with the brewery a few doors down offering free services for hikers (showers, laundry).

★★★★★ — Gabriel , Jun 2022

Great outfitters off the Appalachian Trail. Very friendly staff. Very clean and organized. Had a lot of different options for equipment. Picked up a few things for resupply.

★★★★★ — Cory , Nov 2022

This is a dual review; Retailer and Manufacturer. Although I've been to Mountain Trails before, in Winchester, for footwear, this experience was at Front Royal store. I went in looking for a wine bottle opener, with any configuration. I bought this combo knife/wine bottle opener.
