November 29, 2020Really enjoyed this hike! Lots of snow on the ground but I was fine with just hiking boots. There is also a good amount of parking. The views were great! I would recommend.
November 22, 2020The ruins were neat to see. Trail was well marked and wide for the most part. Very easy hike. Hiked on a Sunday afternoon and the park was extremely crowded. Go during the week if possible.
November 8, 2020November 8, 2020November 4, 2020rocky, crowded
November 3, 2020October 24, 2020Fairly easy trail, mostly wide, but not too many people were out there.
October 17, 2020October 11, 2020October 4, 2020well maintained. easy for all ages. great view payoff for a shorter hike!
October 3, 2020Trail was clearly marked and a great time! It took us about 2 hours total to go up and back but we stopped several times to rest and take pictures.
September 23, 2020Nice sunny trail...easy to moderate...some amazing views
September 8, 2020Great trail that’s marked very well. A little hazy because of the recent fire, but still pretty views. Lots of parking at trail head and many benches throughout the trail.
August 30, 2020Relaxing, busy, flat and pleasant
August 15, 2020We arrived around 8:00 and there was still plenty of parking. Trails are well maintained. Beautiful views despite smoke from the fires. The land marks were interesting. Foot traffic was light for most of the hike. As we returned to the parking lot around 11:00, it was heavier.
August 9, 2020Beautiful, easy hike! Gets busy by 8AM, so go early. Parking is somewhat limited. My dog loved it. the trail is wide and there's lots of nearby trails if you get done early. Hit Mac Nation after.
August 8, 2020Nice trail. Got there around 5:30am and there was only one vehicle in the parking lot. We ran into no one for the first hour and only saw a significant number of people near the trailhead on our way out around 8am. Plenty of shade and a good hike overall.
August 3, 2020Awesome little hike. Hilly and partially shaded. It gets warm in the sun as you are hiking uphill in the sun back to the car.
July 22, 2020Great little Gallup, and definitely the easiest moderate you’ll ever find!
July 19, 2020Fun trail starts off easy and then breaks off into a really nice view.
July 19, 2020Pretty easy trail for the most part. My nine year old was able to do this one no problem. Towards the end it is a little confusing because the signs say to right towards castle trail when really you should head left to go up the little summit. It isn’t really shaded so sunscreen and water is a must!
July 16, 2020frequent bear tracks and scat. just be cautious.
July 13, 2020$10 car fee!
July 12, 2020Great trail when you just want a quick getaway and a little challenge. I’d say this is more on the easy side than moderate. It took us 1.5 hrs and Apple Watch recorded 3.54 miles
July 1, 2020Nice trail! Easy to walk in and plenty of benches to enjoy the scenery. Loved seeing the ruins and the Summer White House
June 30, 2020Great little trail for beginning hikers or walkers. Great views and some interesting historical spots.
June 29, 2020Super easy trail! Good for family and kids. Lots of opportunities for rest. There’s also an outdoor bathroom which is convenient. Definitely recommend for a little escape from the city. Also plenty of parking early in the day.
June 27, 2020Good easy trail with great views. Cool historic locations with the castle and the proposed White House cornerstone
