Confirmed from Resler Canyon'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.
Nature preserve offering kid-friendly hikes, though it's currently closed for maintenance.
What runners say about Resler Canyon
Trail was not very clear at first, but then it turned up after a few minutes of wondering around. Over all nice and easy hike.
Enjoyable hike. Terrain created a excellent physical workout. Very little flat areas. Definitely going back.
Right in our back yard is a little desert spot where you can take a quick hike and get away for a few minutes. It's a rather large arroyo between Sunland park Dr. and Resler.
Went for a short two mile hike in Resler Canyon. Fui en una caminata corta de dos millas por el cañón de resler.
Trail conditions & character
“As a former El Pasoan this may come off as a little biased but one of the greatest views in El Paso.”
“75 miles in the trail "ends" officially but you can keep going until you get to the Resler Dr drainage tunnel.”
