Confirmed from Park And Hike'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 Park And Hike
I enjoyed this hike, it wasn't particularly well marked with trails seemingly going in different directions. If you climb all the way to the highest peak be prepared for some mild climbing with your hands
Gorgeous views! Relatively easy hike and tons of trails to choose from. Loved it will be back! I was here at around 8am on a Wednesday morning and saw just 1 other hiker. 👌
This is a great place to park for an easy summit hike; it's just street parking, but since the trail isn't super popular, and this is just a small neighborhood, you shouldn't have any trouble finding parking.
Very nice area for hiking, just one note for you guys to park just in next park's entrance not in other side , Early morning u will see here a lot of rabbits and birds , a lot of people lives here so you will not be afraid there ,I get some pictures for u guys
