Confirmed from Salida Gulch Trail #95'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.
Easy loop trail for people and pets, featuring creeks and petroglyphs.
What runners say about Salida Gulch Trail #95
“Beautiful, secluded, green, with elevation changes and petroglyphs.”
“For respectful, quiet Single's and couples, it's at the end of a nice quiet neighborhood.”
Walked this trail in about 2 hours. Well marked, well maintained. Great trail for dogs. Very peaceful. Didn't see any other hikers. It was great not being run over by mountain bikes.
Very Unique trail, VERY limited parking. Nice narrow path. For respectful, quiet Single's and couples, it's at the end of a nice quiet neighborhood.
My family and I love this area. Easy enough of a walk that windes back and fourth through a tributary creek to lynx. The whole loop is roughly 4 miles. But the petroglyphs you find a bout a mile in are awesome. Hard to miss them right off the trail. My kids and dogs had a blast.
Great hiking and biking trail just outside of Prescott / Prescott valley. It can get really wet after rain or snowmelt and does require driving down a dirt road to get to the trailhead.
Trail conditions & character
“The west side of this trail is definitely much prettier with the mountain views, the east side was just going through trees and snow.”
“If you start the trail counter-clockwise, you'll have a bit more incline and come to a trail (#94) in about 35 mins that will take you directly to Lynx Lake.”
“Beautiful trail that leads to another on the loop.”
“For respectful, quiet Single's and couples, it's at the end of a nice quiet neighborhood.”
“It can get really wet after rain or snowmelt and does require driving down a dirt road to get to the trailhead.”
“Was not too muddy despite rain and hail occurring halfway through the route.”

- DogsWelcome, per reviewers. Leash rules vary by park — the trailhead sign is the authority.
