Runner's snapshot

Surface: Mixed
Loop distance: 11.5 mi
Shape: Loop
Shade: Not reported
Access: Not reported

Confirmed from Royalview Mountain Bike Trail (Lower Lot)'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.

🏃 great for running 3 mentions

“I love it here! I come and run the trails several times a week usually with my dog.”

🪧 well-marked 2 mentions

“Well marked and impeccably maintained single track.”

Great trails for biking or hiking. For biking, please make sure you're going in the right direction. Loops change per day of week. Also be careful and make sure you stay on the correct loops, as they do intersect in a few spots. Overall nice to get away for a few.

This is the parking lot at the trailhead for Yellow MTB trail for M-W-F and Sunday. Gradual uphill ride and a fun coast back down the road if you don't carry on to Red. Signage and maps will show the trails and directions. Hiking trailhead all days.

★★★★★ — Daniel , Oct 2017

Walked the trail, mostly flat. Nice place to view nature. Saw some frogs and one snake. Overall just a nice walk on the trails. We took the orange trail in and out as not to interfere with the cyclists.

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.
