Confirmed from Pleasant View 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 nature trail featuring mountain views and many birds, as well as being a biking spot.
What runners say about Pleasant View Trailhead
“The view is simply stunning and the higher you go, the more it opens up and because of the direction of the sun it was possible to see as far as Ogden, maybe even further.”
Great trail but may need to check your map to not be led astray by the roads and crossing trails. You can go from pleasant view all the way to mt. Ogden uninterrupted with connections to Ben Lomand, Lewis peak Indian trail Malians peak.
A good place to get on the trail. Plenty of parking. Great bike trails.
Visit the pleasant view trailhead on Mar 13 2024 and it was a great hike! We came in the early morning and the sun was still behind the mountain so it was quite cool. Most of the route is moderately uphill, yet the walk is relatively easy and it also helped us to warm up.
Pleasant View Trailhead is a great place for biking, hiking, and trail running. Now, I wouldn't travel to hit any of these trails, but they are amazing as a local, convenient excursion.
