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.

“I like the trail it's not as clean as it once was, but I feel safe walking/running here.”
Finally had the chance to take a walk today @ route 66 trailhead it's an awesome trail for walking and experiencing
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.
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.
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.
