Confirmed from Nora Kuttner Recreational 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.
Trail through hilly chaparral landscape featuring mountain-bike paths, hiking, running and benches.

Nice trail with some elevation to it. You can connected to other trails near by to add more miles. Nice place for hiking, running and riding mountain bike. Nice views of OC county..
One of our favorite trails to hike. I must say,this inclines are great for begginers. I enjoy this trail,as the bikers have their own path.
Great hilly area for runners trying to get a little workout and a beautiful view of the city !
