This is my to-go-to trail early in the morning I normally take the Coyote Trail up to Skyline Drive until reaching the Water Tower that’s my turning point. It’s a moderate trail but you definitely get your sweat going, after walking down the steep hill from the water tower I jog through Ahwingna Trail all the way until reaching 7th street. This circuit is 3.78mi I do want to try the other trails in Hacienda hills for an extra mile or two, you still have Puma trail, Native Oak Trail and thats just from this side of town there are other four trails that connect from Whittier too! It’s your pick and choose. These trails are kid friendly, some trails mountain bike accesible as well as horseback riding. The natural habitat really helps disconnecting you from everything and anything down back in the city, really helpful nowadays with so much going on, very thankful to have these hills. Elevation is about 1,161ft, depending on the season you’ll be seeing wildflowers there is poison Ivy you got to watch out for, also being a natural habitat there’s mountain lions (which i’ve yet to encounter), deer (I’ve seen), coyotes, rattle snakes(nearly stepped on one!) just always be aware of tour surroundings at all time. But the views in a clear weather are the ones to breathe in and be thankful for. Blessings and just get out there and enjoy...
Read moreGreat hike in the middle of suburba! Right off the 60fwy and 7th. You take 7th and it ends at the trail head. Parking is limited inside (only 2 spots) but its across the street from a school and a side street with ample parking. You start up a small incline on gravel then you hit pavement and it goes up hill at a decent incline. If you take this hike and make lefts to loop. back around you will be at about 3 miles, but once you reach the water tower/summit you can take a number of other trails that can go for miles! Usually well traveled to heavy congestion of people hiking, mountain biking, walkers, trail runners and the occasional yogis at each summit point. Last time I went the grass was very tall about 5 ft (may 2019) but normally you get great views of the surrounding cities and on a clear day a view of DTLA Hike is easy to moderate depending on your fitness level but it's very doable for anyone starting out or just wanting a...
Read moreI love the trails here! First and for most the parking situation is much better compared to like the trails in Whittier-Hellmans Trail. It's next to a school and residential area. So there is plenty of parking. Currently the hours for the summer months are posted as 9am-6pm, but we're got there at 8:30 am and it was already open. There are plenty of trails to go of off. You can go to the water tower and if you dare walk all the way to the Whittier tower. There are great visit of the temple Buddhist temple on hacienda and of Rose Hills Mortuary.
It's a very scenic and some of the trails are naturally shaded which helps a lot. The trails seem pretty clean. So this is a friendly reminder to be aware of your trash. Let's try not to ruin this piece of nature.... or anything at that matter.
I definitely...
