Confirmed from Route 66 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.

★★★★★ — Matthew , May 2025

It's a nice, family and pet friendly hiking spot in Rancho which blends urban vibes with a little bit of nature. Great place for a family hike, walking your pets, biking, and even just chilling. You have to cross streets every now and then though.

★★★★★ — David , May 2023

This trail has saved me a lot of time going back and fourth within the part of town I live. Enjoy taking this trail at all hours. Well lit and always see other people on it well kept,clean,and maintained. Fortunate to have a nice piece of this trail I can travel.

★★★★★ — Jonathan , Oct 2023

Closer to the foothill area of Rancho/Upland area. Cement road running West to East with traffic intersections along the way. Nice scenic area as you look to the north with some small offshoot trails.

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.
