Confirmed from The Trails at 9th'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.
What runners say about The Trails at 9th
It’s called Hobo Hills. The trails have been there for decades, built and maintained by different people in the area. Now, some elitists have taken it over and claim it as their own. Last time I checked, the City of Amarillo owns the land, not SPO. It’s open 24/7. Rain, wind, sleet, snow, or hail. ENJOY THE TRAILS!!
For trails being right outside our backyard, they are worthy. If you can’t make it down to the canyon this is the place to go. Trails have expanded and new features have been added, you will definitely enjoy the trails.
Could have easily spent an entire day here. It was hard to find but once you park and start walking, there is trails upon trails upon trails. Awesome. Free.
This place has been here for a long time the ramps were hand built by skateboarders and BMX bikers in the early 2000s it's a popular teen hangout known as hobo hills. Plain and simple.
