Steep hike that is great for the family! With wide trails and plenty of scenery to go around.
Great conditioning hike with easy access. Steady climb with great views of Mt San Antonio and Gorgonio. Not crowded. Hike on wide access roads to power lines
Confused at first because the trail looks blocked off. The trail is next to a residential ranch styled homes. I suggest going at dawn or right before dusk. You will need about 3-4 hours to complete the trail.
Completed this hike in 5 hours. I did stop to take pictures. This was a challenging addition in my journey. We hiked 5 miles uphill, then about 5 1/2 on the way back to the car. It was a gloomy morning but perfect weather for the climb. Trekking poles are recommended; there’s a lot of loose rocks making the downhill slippery. Prepare yourself before you start. Pack yourself snacks and at least 2 bottles of water, you will encounter steep inclines on the way up and it will definitely feel like a workout. Enjoy!
Great trail. It’s hard af. Steep climbs. Bring poles. I hiked up and ran down. About 9 miles rt.
