Mills Canyon Nature Area Trail Loop is a 1.5 mile moderately trafficked loop trail located near Burlingame, California that features beautiful wild flowers and is good for all skill levels. The trail offers a number of activity options and is accessible year-round. Dogs are also able to use this trail but must be kept on leash.
A short walking trail, this is most often used by locals, and can offer a nice oasis in the surrounding residential area. A great spot for birds and wildflowers. Not suitable for strollers or bikes.
Trailhead at end of Los Robles Dr. lots of parking in the residential neighborhood
February 20, 2021Peace in creek
February 18, 2021Nice hike. Part of the trail is along a creek. Trail is narrow and mostly dirt, can be muddy when it rains. Mostly families and Joggers. some dogs. Change in elevation along trail. Time walked was around 1.25 hours
February 13, 2021A little muddy today
January 24, 2021Overall it was not bad. Trail has been turned into a unidirectional one due to COVID but lots of people not following directions. People with their dogs NOT on leash.
January 23, 2021Nice, quick, family-friendly hike. Mostly canyon hiking - not a lot of views. Beware young children - some sections need a scramble that can be hard for them to navigate on their own. Two-way segment at the start connects into a pandemic friendly one-way loop. Ran into several families on a Saturday morning. Parking at the trailhead is a bit cramped. Enjoy!
January 10, 2021was there with my 4 year old boy. he looked it much but was not very easy for him or may be his first track where he completed the full course.
January 10, 2021Good east hike. A bit muddy after all the rain but overall a good variation.
December 31, 2020December 30, 2020December 27, 2020Easy, light traffic, well marked, low intensity trail. There's some up and down when ascending / descending to the main trailhead from the parking area and on each side of the creek. Trailhead starts with moderate switchbacks, and there are a couple places with slick rocks. Nice view of the SF Bay from a distance within the first half mile. COVID-19 pandemic protocols are in place, so traffic is one way on the trail and a mask is required.

December 9, 2020good hike with variation. good scenery
December 1, 2020Did two miles as the scripted trail is different than AllTrails has in their system. This is not an easy trail. Has some steep inclines/declines that can be a bit rough at times. Anyone with challenges should avoid the unpaved trail, which is most of that area.
November 29, 2020Great short hike right in the middle of Burlingame
November 9, 2020Nice quick little hike!
November 8, 2020Beautiful views of the canyon, creek, and bay. Short but moderately difficult trail due to rockiness and uphill/downhills. Since it’s a narrow trail, it’s been marked one-way for COVID (although not all people adhere to this).
October 30, 2020Short but have good up and downhills.
October 17, 2020October 17, 2020October 13, 2020barely saw anyone on the trail midweek which was incredible. good tree cover throughout. i’m glad i chose to record my hike because the path is a lil confusing at times but the alltrails path is top notch. you have to cross the creek at one point near the start of the hike (then again at the end) which can be tricky to find but again, trust the app! this is good for solo or pairs of hikers but not good for kids or anyone with trouble balancing.
October 10, 2020September 20, 2020Great tiny trail and not a lot of people.
September 6, 2020August 9, 2020A little confusing to get to but a pretty nice trail once you’re there
