love this hiking trails very challenging for a beginner we but we get a very good workout out of it.. you get your cardio, balance and resistance, leg & booty workout all in one hike so why go to the gym when hiking is freeeeee
Dirt too slippery

It is a great trail after all these rains the scenery is green and lush. I added some more at the end and that area was washed out; would not recommend due to some homeless in the area. Part of the trail is closed for nature habitat so I went around. Definitely coming back and going the other way.
I didn’t get a chance to hike but I walked my dog around the nature center. The views were gorgeous. Very peaceful and safe. I would go back.
Pro: Gorgeous when green Safe Cons: Graffiti Typically brown Noise pollution It’s steep I like to go off trail
great trail love the hill and rocks
Loved it great hike will be back trying to find jack the skeleton rock any clues help me out but I found a down 4/20 art work
Good workout, great view

Good morning workout, I do it 4 to 5 times a week. Not easy but it's worth it. The view its nice you get to see Rialto,Rancho and Fontana. And if you enjoy nature like I do and lucky you'll get to see coyotes besides rabbits,lizards and roderuners.
This is a great trail with views all around the Inland Empire and some of the best shots of Cucamonga Peak. I got on the trail early in the morning and saw owls and an amazing sunrise when it had just snowed recently on the surrounding mountains. There are also a lot of boulders to check out and you will see rock art everywhere, and the undesirable tagging.
Very steep and slippy at the start. Also just when you think you are at the summit, another hill rises! My son and I didn't quite make the top. Great views and a nice breeze higher up.
I've hiked this trail many times. It is a little more difficult that you would think. The beginning of the trail is steep and a bit slippery. Wear good shoes with traction.
