Confirmed from Raspberry Mountain'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.

One of the more fun and scenic trails I've visited. Love the fact it's a quick jump to Herman. The trail has a nice inclice(white ghost trail) that isn't to steep. Alot is out in the open so remember to put on sun screen. Beautiful trail with lots of lookouts. Remember to use AllTrails or an app like that.

This is a great place to hike. Parking was 5$ the last time I was there and there was a “no dogs allowed” sign for the trail

★★★★★ — H , Sep 2025

This was a wonderful trail to get a good workout on. As others have mentioned, you definitely want to go clockwise and get that step first mile or the way. Theres still a little over on the trail in that first mile but it's manageable without spikes if you have good balance and TAKE YOUR TIME.

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.
