Running Routes: Downtown & the West Hills

Leif Erikson Trail:

MAP

Starts at west end of NW Thurman Forest Park. Take the trail uphill...you can track your distance by noting the 1/4 mile marks (each 1/4 mile is marked). This is a wonderful place to escape the city, without actually leaving the city! Watch out for mountain bikers ripping around the corners, though.
