Confirmed from Window Rock 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 Window Rock Trail
Cute place! Very scenic 😉 Share the road with bicycles. Be careful and keep you're eyes in the road! Haha! Went to thie tunnel that doesn't have a trail.
An easy 1/4-mile walk from the parking lot to an overlook with great views. The trail isn't especially well-marked--much of it is across large rock slabs--but it's easy to see where you're going. Near the parking lot is a shelter with benches where you can sit and enjoy the view.
