Confirmed from Top of the World'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 Top of the World
“Great viewpoint for seeing the Tri-Cities from a high point.”
In an effort to promote a safe user experience, and protect property assets, the Glenwood Overlook Park, also known as, “Top of the World Park,” will be limited to non-motorized access effective April 29, 2022.
Amazing views of the area from up high. There are trails but it was too cold for us today.
Great 360 views of the lower Columbia valley and surrounding hills and mountains. Watch out for all the teenagers that take the parking lot over after dark.
This place is less hiking. If you want to just go outdoors. This is the place to go and feel a little of peace. This is the place.
Trail conditions & character
“Nice view of the Tri-Cities lights in the dark if you take a little walk to the Gazebo or a higher point 👍🌃”
“Users may park in the cul-de-sac at the end of Glenwood Court or the gravel parking lot south of the hill on Englewood Drive.”
