Confirmed from Prado Park, Colton'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.

🌳 shaded & cool 5 mentions

“But plenty of shade and they even have a bbq grill”

🌾 quiet & peaceful 3 mentions

“It was not crowded and it’s a shame because it’s a great auto park”

Nice hike with not many other people there. However there are a lot of trails that go all over and it's hard to tell which is the main trail. There are no markers. Had to keep an eye on the map to make sure we were going the right way. There are some steep parts as well.

★★★★☆ — Keiko , Feb 2021

Nice, small park. Plenty of shade. Only inconvenience is that there is no restroom.

★★★★★ — Regal , Aug 2018

Very nice and very small. Neighborhood park with awesome trails and I hear the veiw is breath taking! The trail begins at the edge of the park and enters the hills just behind the playground.

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.
