Confirmed from Quail 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 Quail Trailhead
Quail trail connects to numerous other trails too, ranging in difficulty, go up to saddle trail
Very rocky! Lots of pebbles and rocks on the trail. Bring comfortable shoes. I would say this is not dog friendly as there are sharp rocks all along the trail. There is a $7 fee at the gate to access the trails.
Short afternoon hike, was very peaceful and the moon made a cool backdrop.
Yeah Jacky, it’s rocky. It’s called “the outdoors.” Bring outdoor shoes, outdoor apparel, ample water, tasty snacks, and a dog if you have one. They’ll love you for it. Definitely a dog friendly trail; just please pick up after your pets. It’s the right thing to do.
