Confirmed from Pyramid Ridge 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.
What runners say about Pyramid Ridge Trailhead
“This place was nice over the holiday weekend, as it was not busy and it was well kept.”
Well-marked trail for hiking and biking with bathrooms and a large parking lot. I hiked a few miles and it was pretty mild without many hills. Note that when driving to the trailhead, the last 0.7 miles of the drive is on a dirt road, but I didn’t have any trouble accessing it with my car.
Large parking area with clean bathrooms. They are adding 15 camp sites and more trails. Nice hike and scenery. Moderate elevation gain. Loops around back to parking lot or head north towards Cedar. Not crowded during weekdays. Definitely awesome bike trail.
Great mountain bike and hiking trails. They have a little something for everyone from easy loops to hard rocky trails. These trails connect to the Southview trails and tend to be a little less crowded.
This is a hidden gem along I-15 for those folks who like to camp, hike, and ride mountain bikes as a part of their travels. The trails are accessible right from the campground. I would consider their ratings a bit off. The green trails are more like an intermediate with rocky, sharky spots.
