We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of Ollason Peak 1800' (549m) yet from its own listing, the park's website or runner reviews — so those cells stay blank rather than guess. What is below comes straight from the listing and from reviewers' own words. 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.

🏞️ beautiful scenery 3 mentions

It was a strenuous hike, but the view was well worth it. I would bring snacks and plenty of fluids when you decide to make this hike. The hike is entirely uphill, there is no flat parts to this hike.

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.

“The best place to enjoy the view and take a break on the bench there.”
