Features Birding · Historical Significance

Soldier's Trail is an easy, well-maintained loop at Fort Tuthill County Park, ideal for a relaxed hike, run, or bike ride. With little elevation gain and no major viewpoints, it's a smooth, peaceful trail through mature ponderosa forest. The loop is clearly marked and can be done in either direction, offering a peaceful outing without the challenge of steep terrain.

The loop can be hiked in either direction, but this description follows the counterclockwise route. You can start from a couple of places, but as mapped here it begins from a dirt lot near the main entrance/exit to the park. For most of it's length the trail is clearly marked with posts and signs, so it's easy to stay on track. Whether you're out for a short dog walk or to hike the full loop, Soldiers Trail offers a peaceful, scenic escape without too much effort.
