We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of Prospector View Park & Trailhead yet from its own listing, the park's website or runner reviews — so those cells stay blank rather than guess. What is below comes straight from the listing and from reviewers' own words. 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 Prospector View Park & Trailhead
Trails can be out and backs or loops. Several options to choose from. Trails are nice and not too crowded.
We love hiking and Mountain biking at Prospector View! It is 10 minutes from home and so pretty, especially spring and fall. Little May to Brownstone is my favorite hike.
Comfortable walk. Trail has signs to assist you as you walk. Take water if you walk as it can get hot.
