Confirmed from Vista Del Norte Reserve'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 Vista Del Norte Reserve
“Beautiful hike with great views all around.”
Beautiful view! We’ve been living in PV peninsula more than 1( yr, but just had a walk with dogs for the first time. Love it!
We used to call parts of it Von's Hill.. It was a big shortcut for those of us who live up by Ridgecrest Intermediate school . It was a shortcut to either the mall or the high school. Right in the middle of the preserve was a little "fort" someone dug into the hill.
Beautiful hike with great views all around. There's also a community garden up there. Its great that they have a couple benches to sit and enjoy the view. When the soil is wet it might be a little muddy so its best to come when the soil is dry.
