Confirmed from Peak Meadow 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.

What runners say about Peak Meadow Trail

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (8 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

The trail on the far right may be a little difficult for the unfit. Great exercise, and fresh air.

★★★★★ — Simon , May 2022

This trial connects Horse Heaven Trail and Ohlone Wilder Trail leading to Mission Peak. It's less crowded than Ohlone Wilderness Trail.

★★★★☆ — Bruce , Jan 2021
