Confirmed from Mulholland Ridge Open Space'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 Mulholland Ridge Open Space

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (22 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

🏞️ beautiful scenery 4 mentions

“The scenic views are quite amazing and this trail is extremely relaxing.”

Short hike but with great views! It's true, there aren't many trees here, which is a bummer on a hot summer day but quite pleasant on a cold day. Not a favorite in the summer unless you get an early start.

★★★★★ — Chris , Jan 2021

This is the most amazing place to walk dogs! The scenic views are quite amazing and this trail is extremely relaxing. Highly recommend!

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.
