Confirmed from Stottlemeyer 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.
Forested area with hiking trails for various difficulty levels, plus mountain biking routes.
What runners say about Stottlemeyer Trailhead
“The trails are always well maintained and ever since they started posting the trail names at the head of each one I don't get lost as much.”
Love this place. Lots of trails to explore. Every level of difficulty is available.
Considering the decades of environmental non-profit volunteering trail making that has been done by myself, it was hoped that building trails for WTA would be enjoyable.
I am just a beginner at trail rides, and this was a perfect destination for me. Lots of"you are here" maps scattered around, beginner, intermediate, and advanced trails color coded on the maps. (I also printed one from online before going). Also a lot of logging roads connecting single tracks. I ended up biking 10.
Bike trails well maintained by Evergreen Mountain Bike Alliance. These trails are more cross country styled but there are a couple downhill flow type trails.
