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.

“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

★★★★★ — Temo , Jul 2023

Amazing view, quite a nice hiking trail. Be careful with the inclination and on your way down

★★★★★ — Zhxdow87 , Mar 2023

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.

★★★★★ — Marlow , Apr 2025

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

★★★★★ — Pete , May 2019

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.
