Round Mountain National Recreation Trail

So beautiful and peaceful and it runs up the Bug Thompson canyon with up class 3 rapids...A must see!

The foothills nature trail was great for our kids- ending up at a scenic overlook with a shelter was a highlight for them. I also like the longer round mountain hike, but it does have pretty extreme elevation gain for the first two miles before getting to the back side of the mountain away from road noise.

This is one of my favorite hikes! I’m still at a beginner level, but my partner & I enjoy hiking more and more of the difficult trail each time we go. We’ve only made it to the 2 mile mark so far, but it’s still been a beautiful hike. The nature trail is great for when we’re not feeling like doing an intense hike.

It's a nice trail with a lot of shade. But if your running be ready for a lot of uphill and a lot of rocks. It's a great work out, but hard. I would imagine it would also be a nice walk too.

We hiked to the summit, almost five miles and 3000 ft elevation gain. 3 hours up with a few breaks. Trail easy to follow, liked the oasis at mile 3. Good views on trail. Descent took 2hrs, 15 minutes. We were motivated to move down due to afternoon storm, encountered rain for a few minutes. Great hike, mostly in the woods.
