Reviews
Been coming to hike at La Tuna for years now and don’t plan on stopping. Spectacular views. Steep hills with loose dirt provide a nice workout
Tip #1: for more of a challenge take the dirt trails to the top
Tip #2: take a minute at the very top to sit, meditate, and vibe with nature
Great place to Bike 🚲 or Hike 🥾
This is one of the most amazing hiking trails I’ve ever been to. I gotta warn you about a few things. Parking is limited, there are no services, and it starts easy but early on you’ll have your first challenge of cardiovascular health. Do not give up at the first hill, if you can make this one the rest will be just fine. The first few time i went there I felt like I was gonna have a heart attack; thus, I’ve named it Cardiac Hill. It gets very hot in the summer so make sure you’re wearing light clothes, a hat, sunscreen and bring plenty of water. Distance to the top is close to 4 miles. The view makes it all worth it. try it!
I have been meaning to come to this park for a while, and I definitely need to go back. Stayed just long enough to catch a magnificent sunset, pass a few dogs with my little guy, and get some elevation gain. Much of that I saw was paved, which is nice for those who want a solid path with grip at a slightly more agreeable ascension. There is a dirt road adjacent to the road that I used which is a bit more steep for those who like a bit more vertical speed. My dog also appreciated all the smells in the brush.
This trail is a beautiful moderate hike. If you choose to take the hiking trail, I do suggest good comfy hiking boots, but there’s also an asphalt road where cyclists and walkers take, and for that, you can just use sneakers. The La Tuna Canyon trail has many splits once you get to the top so you can have a different adventure every time you visit. Parking is limited, so keep that in mind. Also, there are no restrooms, make sure you do your thing before.
