Confirmed from Mountain View Park Trail Head'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 View Park Trail Head
This is an entrance to the Legacy Parkway Trail system which heads north toward Farmington. It also connects to the Denver Rio Grande Trail system which goes all the way to Roy to the North. To the south, it connects with the Jordan River Parkway Trail system which now goes all the way to Utah Lake in Utah County.
Great trail, view is nice. Lots of nature. I took my young puppy on a 4 mile run. Only complaint is mosquitos .. make sure to have spray or repellent.
Great little park! Nice quiet location. Batrooms, cabanas, and a play ground. Also, easy access to the trail head. A little Buried but well worth it.
