We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of Upper City Creek TrailHead yet from its own listing, the park's website or runner reviews — so those cells stay blank rather than guess. What is below comes straight from the listing and from reviewers' own words. 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 Upper City Creek TrailHead
“I went with my friend to walk out dog's and it's gorgeous out there!”
“It is very peaceful, beautiful with a creek that runs along.”
Another place to access the trail system with motorized access as well.
Great for many activities. Parking lot is a decent size. Hiking, biking, trail running, snow shoeing, and so much more. We like to bring our dogs.
It is an easy access hike that makes it a good choice to just get out of the house. Not really pretty but that is in the eye of the beholder. Can be busy and steep at times.
Stunning views and amazing paths. A must go. I enjoyed so much I failed to take more pictures. City creek is a great walk for shady during hot summer sun.
