We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of Rhubarb Trail 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 Rhubarb Trail
“Nice easy hike along a willow-lined stream.”
We stumbled across this trail when we realized that you needed reservations for Muir Woods. It turned out to be one of our favorite hikes of the San Francisco trip. As my daughter pointed out, the thick growth, moss, vines, wildflowers, and mushrooms created a "magical" look along much of the trail. And, for fun...
Nice trail that connects tennesse valley to the wider network of fire roads. It’s mostly double or single track and does have a few section with stairs. There can be lots of poison oak so beware! It’s dog friendly!
Great connecting trails to overlook the Bay. Well maintained paths, passed workers while hiking
Nice easy hike along a willow-lined stream. Wide, packed, trails that are maintained well, but are showing some wear after the rains.
Trail conditions & character
“Great place for a hike with the dog, but only 4 stars, as there are no facilities or snack bar.”
