Schabarum Skyline Trail — Attraction in Walnut

Surprisingly fun exciting and thrilling. This trail is great for walks, biking, jogging, and running. The park at this location is a circle loop of 4.5 to 5 miles... however, it connects to other trails to other locations. Thus, over 20 miles of trails. This, in particular, was fantastic ! Challenging! And fun.. If you head south, it's the challenging side. If you head north, it is a downhill road until you come back up on the other switchback hill. Clean visually stunning, safe, and many friendly people along the way. Trails are rigorous and have rest stops with lovely views. Great day for a hike ir for a picnic with the family . Follow the Google mapping, it will lead you to the yellow gate with a huge water drum located to the side. Park along the long wall. Please be respectful of the residents, keep all noise low, and throw away your trash. I Literally didn't find any trash along the trail most 🙃...

Difficulty: Moderate Distance: About 3.5 miles Highlights: A mysteriously wrecked car along the trail, scenic views

Park for free at Walnut Ranch Park and take a short walk heading west on Amar to find the entrance to this hidden gem. There is a conspicuous sign that marks the start so you can't miss it. While the first half of the hike is a good workout that is filled with uphill switchbacks through dry brush, the latter part is mostly flat and/or downhill that takes you through what seems to be the big backyard of a residential community. Make sure to wear sunscreen because there is very little shade along the entire trail. There are a few overlooks near the latter part that provide nice views of surrounding cities. The best thing about this hike - you'll find more peace and quiet here than at hikes such as Cahuenga Peak.

One more thing, how did that Chrysler LeBaron end up at the bottom of...

To start at the begining of the trailhead is not difficult just more of an annoyance. There isn't direct immediate parking by it. You either park across the street in one of the neighborhoods or drive a little and park at the closest park and walk your way to the trailhead. It's about a 5 minute walk from the park to the trailhead so again not a huge deal. But starting at the trail we went straight and to the right. Spend a good mile on an incline going thru overgrown plants. There were tons of flowers around so obviously careful with bees. But once we got past the jungle it was more of a neighborhood dirt path/sidewalk for the next 2 miles or so until it loops you back to the begining of the trail. Talk about urban hiking. Overall I wouldn't...
