We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of Secondary Trail Head 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 Secondary Trail Head

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (8 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

Nice hike, we dis a 3.5 mile loop but you can do more than that or less. You can hike to monument rock!

I pulled off a prank on my friends here and scared the s... out of them as I started running the opposit way and they started running back ward after me. 😆🤣😂

There’s a mirror out of trails feathering all through this area if you cross Mount Hermon Road, you can get a little bit of elevation gain. I think this would be particularly good for mountain bikers.
