Confirmed from Wild Horse Trail'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 Wild Horse Trail
A simple trail that horses use in the area. I was lucky enough to see the large group of wild horses from the Park area when I arrived. A cool sight to see if you find the horses, but the views are also nice.
Fun, simple hike. Didn’t see any horses this time around, but lots of Great Basin collared lizards.
It's not called the Wild Horse Trail for nothing! Excellent easy trail with ample parking and outstanding opportunities to catch a glimpse of some of Nevada's wild horses as they roam the hill sides.
