Confirmed from Prospect 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.

Clean trail with wonderful views, wide space, tough hills,, and many options to make a tough workout or a nice hike.
Park near this trail entrance and walk straight north to the Redwoods! Definitely worth the 15 minute walk.
