It's a nice little urban hiking trail that covers a few hills and ends at a large park. Very peaceful little walks and you get to look into some people backyards and see their cats. read more

You loose what you ate in seconds, depending how far you make it. Just bring your own water, only if you like tap water with dog drull over it. Enjoy. read more

This is a short 1.3ish miles out and back trail. It's probably rated in medium difficulty since the hills have a pretty heavy incline. Definitely a good spot to get some exercise in. No real views, mostly good just for quick walk. Plenty of street parking. read more

Very nice chill walk in MPK. We started in front of La Loma Park and ended up at the Edison Trails Park where the kids could play for a bit before the walk back. Its a little over a mile round trip. Really nice and kids friendly. read more

I never knew that a trail in Monterey Park existed. Shout out to my friend, Eric, for recommending this hike! I guess it's true that it takes a pandemic for me to appreciate the things that are close to home. The trail is about 4 blocks, connected by paved streets, but mostly sloped dirt paths. It runs roughly 1 mile in one direction and took us about 20 minutes to finish the trail. It's such a convenient and beginner level hike, I'm shocked I've been living under a rock for so long! I highly recommend this trail if you're barely getting back into exercising, like me. Or if you're into nice views of LA. I wouldn't mind bringing my family and pup to join me next time. It's about time I got into shape! Parking is super easy as well. I parked along the street and had no issues. If you're bringing your kids, this trail would be perfect with Loma Park across from it. read more

Edison Trails Park - Beautiful sky - Hiking Near Me - Monterey Park, California

This is a great little trail in Monterey Park. It's a fairly short hike that includes some sandy roads and some pavement as it crosses some residential streets. It's short but there are some steep inclines so still makes it a good workout. There was plenty of street parking on a Friday afternoon. Pleasant trail as it's not too crowded. read more

Came here for a walk during pregnancy to get those steps in! It was just the right difficulty for me to "get away" in the city with an easier walk. There isn't a lot of shade so it could get hot depending on the weather. The trail is unpaved mostly with some inline spanning around 4 blocks. It can connect to a nearby park as well. Definitely will be back! read more

Wanted to go for a hike somewhere near where I had to be. Found this place via Yelp. At first, it looked like a regular, normal hiking trail with some trees and flowers. It's behind all these homes as well. There's some inclined but not too bad. I reached towards the "end", it was a park, so I decided to turn back. I expected it to be more, maybe my expectation was compared to the Schabarum Trail. It's a pretty small hike, after every trail you'd cross the road, then another trail, then cross another road then a trail. It's ok if you live in the area but I wouldn't make the drive for it. read more

Was pretty short and led to the La Loma Park where I was pleasantly surprised. They had these upper field areas over looking the streets. The main issue is that it's not much of a walk. It's quite short and steep and it crosses over from street to street, which is kind of interesting to be honest. Lots of poop around, but it's a nice little walk for my stubby fur babies! read more

What a neat little trail! Located in a quiet residential area of Monterey Park with plenty of parking this small trail is convenient. The trail is short with some hills for intensity and I would highly recommend giving it a try if you live nearby and are looking for a cool spot to get some steps in. You can walk it, run it, or do it multiple times to amp up workout intensity. Make sure to wear some comfortable shoes with a bit of grip because there is loose gravel. A friend of mine brought me here and I will for sure be back again soon. read more

This park is a 20 minute walk from me and I just discovered that there is a little hiking trail that leads to another park called La Loma park. Round trip to La Loma and back would be about 1 mile with a few incline on dirt gravel. I'd say it would be a good workout if you did a few laps back and fourth. It's not too intense so it's doable for beginners and older folks. Peaceful hike away from the hustle and bustle of the city. A hidden gem for locals! read more

Great hike not to long! Did it with my whole family Hubby and three boys ages 10 ,4, 4. read more

This trail is a good leg day. The hills will definitely challenge you however,it is do able. The parking is on the streets and overall a short trail if you want to get a shirt workout in. read more

It is what it is a trail.... It's a short trail, you do have to cross the street between blocks.. it's nice it looks like you're in the middle of no where but there are houses around but it's still niceeeee you feel like you're ina sort of prairie. At the end and beginning of every block they have water fountains for humans and dogs lol.. it's a simple hiking and walking trail .. it's pretty cool how you could see the tees change with the seasons.. the trees bloom and the grass is green, then the of course they change. Short and simple trail. read more

Edison Trails Park - Hiking Near Me - Monterey Park, California

Edison Trails Park is a fun place to picnic, mountain bike & hike, featuring 11 acres throughout the hills of Monterey Park and awesome views! It's usually very empty other than the occasional dog walker or avid hiker. The trails are not too strenuous and the park is always clean. Restrooms have been updated and are cleaned daily. Also it does feature several BBQ pits which will make for an easy Saturday picnic and a small kids play area. Parking is on the side streets and the trails will lead you to another park atop the the hill which has its own parking and several baseball fields. Happy hiking!!! read more

Pretty cool half mile trail with several rolling hills that provide modest views of the surrounding area. Towards the end on one of the hills you can see downtown LA in the distance. Great trail for a quick exercise or nature walk. Free parking on the street. read more

Don't expect this spot to be like all the other popular hiking trails!! I'm giving this five stars because this is great little hiking trail for beginners. It has some incline as you start from the Garfield side of the park but most will be on your way back. My Fitbit wasn't working so we didn't get the distance but I would say in total it's about a mile? My best friend and I aren't ready for anything strenuous so I would recommend this for someone looking for a quick trail to start off on. The trail is between a neighborhood so it definitely takes away the nature feel but it's a nice clean area and you can see downtown LA from a distance. Good for family and a great place to bring the pups! read more

Super short! Great for beginners. This is a great trail for people looking for a short walk with hills or a short dog adventure. This trail is super doggie friendly, meaning there are lots of trash cans, poop bag stations and water stations. So there is no excuse to pick up after your dogs!!! If you are trailing for a race this is perfect for hill training. read more

Very nice little trail in a nice looking neighborhood. Short, somewhat steep inclines, very little shade along the way but it was incredibly pleasant and I recommend especially to those looking for a short hike in the area like I was. read more

I woke up today and felt like I needed to physically strain my gluttonous body by embarking on a vigorous hike. So what so I do? Go on hikespeak.com ?... Hiking.com ?... No, I go on Yelp.com.... SMH -_(\ So I looked up hikes near Monterey Park because that is was where I was going to be near after my work day and found this little gem of a trail. This was pathetic! It was one hill that was maybe 100 yards with a subtle incline then you have to cross a neighborhood street and come across a similar slope. Then crossed the street to meet another similar hill. Then once more, to encounter the same kind of terrain. This hike was basically walking through the backyards of neighboring homes, on a dirt trail, with beer cans and dog feces. The absolute worst trait of this "hiking trail" is that there was no vantage point at all. Overall, this can hardly be called a trail. It's more like a dirt alley with hills and possible dead bodies in the brushes. read more

Short trail great for kids and pups. Nice hidden little playground at the end of trail with a huge field above.

As an "out-of-towner" I found this suburban park a nice place to take a quick hike. It is certainly comparable to some places I hike in south Orange county (like Aliso Creek Trail or the trails in Nelly Gail.) It had some steep hills? So I got a good workout and some lovely views. read more

Solid local trail. If you want to go for a quick walk locally and do not want to go far this place is cool. Not a lot scenery (trail is behind home) it has many water breaks and leads to another park. I recommend taking a friend. read more
