Confirmed from Terri Peak'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.
Kid-friendly and dog-friendly hiking area with views of the lake and blooming flowers.

“Nice and easy hike with great views of Lake Perris and the surrounding city.”
It's a very nice hike even for a 59 y/o who doesn't walk much. Highly recommended for an early morning hike during the summer. Beautiful view
Amazing view, quite a nice hiking trail. Be careful with the inclination and on your way down
This peak can be accessed from inside the Lake Perris Park and outside and provides amazing clear views of Lake Perris and the city surrounds. Some easy small trails can be used to access the peak.
This hike is pretty difficult and has some steep inclines. If you do it slow, you'll make it up to the top no problem. Best views of the valley
