We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of Upper Las Virgenes Canyon Open Space 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 Las Virgenes Canyon Open Space Trailhead

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (14 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

Magnificent, lots of easy trails, a great getaway place, lots of green after all the rain

★★★★★ — Bob , Feb 2023

Well groomed fire road with some trail and water crossings Crowded on weekends but hardly anyone during the week. Very little shade and no toilets. And definitely sulfur smell at the beginning since old hot spring vents nearby.

★★★★☆ — Kevin , Jun 2026

Plenty of open space and trails. I came around the time it looked dry but some streams were still flowing.

★★★★★ — Jose , Jun 2023

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.
