Bonelli Park Trail — Attraction in San Dimas

I came down here for an unexpected short visit from Santa Cruz located 6 hours north. Glad I brought my mountain bike.

Go past and there is a good walking trail. Goto the right and you get a fantastic view of the Valley. It is where I go now to avoid the...

The Trail can be easy to moderate depending on which route you decide to take. My girlfriend and I thought this was going to be a hike but ended up literally being a walk in the park lol. It was funny to be walking on paved roads wearing hiking gear so the locals would laugh at us. We found this place from the all trails app and took a different route to extend out hike from a 6 mile hike to 8 miles. Follow the maps and go at...
