Confirmed from Ogden 27th Street Trailhead'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.
Popular outdoor area with hiking trails, plus bouldering and a spring.
What runners say about Ogden 27th Street Trailhead
“Upper trails are great though, with lots of room, good steeps, great views, and lots of birds.”
“Once you get far enough up there are offshoot trails that take you through trees so there is plenty of shade for a more relaxed hike.”
Doing any trails, especially Maylan's Peak trail, the lower trail has a ton of bugs including some pretty territorial wasps. Upper trails are great though, with lots of room, good steeps, great views, and lots of birds.
Oh, we love this trail! Once you get far enough up there are offshoot trails that take you through trees so there is plenty of shade for a more relaxed hike. Go up 27th and watch for the Pond Trail. I believe this leads to what feeds the waterfall but I'm not 100% sure. No matter what it's worth it.
Wore my rottweiler out on this trail! Great view worth pushing yourself to the top. Hydrate
Best access to the North and South side of Taylor canyon. Parking is the only issue. Plenty of spaces on the street in front of people's houses, but they need a parking lot. Like the one on 29th. Just my opinion. Great trail options into the canyon and a side trail to the pond. Creek views (seasonal) and lots of shade.
