Confirmed from Weir Canyon trailhead'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.
Scenic trail of varying difficulty, featuring wildflowers views of hills, greenery and butterflies.

“One of the best things about this trail is that it is suitable for all ages and fitness levels.”
Great to hike at sunset. Dogs are allowed on a leash due to many signs warning of rattlesnakes. In summer (July), everything is dry and not green, so the sunset isn’t worth it. Parking is free.
I’ve done these trail a couple of times! This is a good 3.9 miles loop as a moderate nice walk with scenery views alongside. SoCal’s recent rainfalls contribute to tons of poppy flowers and greens, as well as muddy trails. Highly recommended it when on dry and sunny days!
Nice loop hike for moderate walk. Beautiful this spring!! Really enjoyed the variety of colors. It is not very shady, so on warm days go early. It was busy on a Saturday by 10AM and super busy by the time we left at Noon.
An awesome 4 mile mountain bike ride through sort of dry meadows. Anyways, this was the greenest it’s ever been in September here
