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

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (19 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

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!!

★★★★★ — Brian , Jan 2025

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.

★★★★☆ — The , Apr 2023

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.

★★★★★ — Fat , Jun 2023

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.

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.
