jogged a huge loop around the north mountain and actually had to jog 3 miles on the street from E foothill up to 7th and back to the shaw butte trail head. hour and a half jog... i wish i could track exact miles. rehabbing a broken leg is tough!

The trail is pretty long if you continue along the outer trails. It is great for mountain bikes, I see horse tracks all the time, and also people jogging/running. The trail does go from nice even ground to unsteady rock and rolling hills with turns pretty frequently. Overall its not a busy trail but keep your head up and ears open for mountain bikes coming down the path.

Interesting hike. At first just getting to it was sort of a joke... parked a mile away to begin it, and then at the trail lots of parents going on their workouts with their kids... might i add some of the little girls were wearing flip flops... overall i guess thats what you get in the middle of the city. The view at the peak was cool but can be seen in the neighborhood on the south side of the mountain if you drive up a little bit. cool rock face on the north side of the head.

I walked the H-1 then did the smallest which was H-3 if i remember right, I wouldnt recommend going to the park on the weekend. It was like a supermarket out there. I heard about it from a friend and thought i'd give it a try. It was overall very easy, and i am rehabbing a broken leg, maybe you saw me powerwalking with my right leg all braced up!

I just moved here and live very close so I go in this trail at different points and just walk and walk and then turn back... it is very nice because I would guess its not as popular so the trail is empty. And I am rehabbing a broken leg from last summer so im not looking for anything REAL hard just yet. The trail looks great for free riding also.
