Confirmed from Park'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

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (23 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

If you park here to hike Peter's Canyon, don't do so at night! It's almost impossible to find your way back in the dark unless you're a local. The most direct route is from Newport / Cowen Heights.

Great loop trail, looks like there is another trail, didn’t go on it. But views were amazing in skyline loop - great for dogs

★★★★★ — Oliver , Feb 2024

Nice size neighborhood park. Swings and dog friendly. Quiet area so very peaceful in the morning. Cool trails in the area.

★★★★★ — James , Nov 2019

Cool trail. Although, really easy to get lost. Just make sure you have your map and plenty of charge of course :) if you looking to Branch out from the norm Peter's canyon trail then give this spot a try. There was plenty of parking probably be best to not stray to far or just know where you're going.

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.
