Hot. Hot. Hot. This place is hot. Hot in like "don't go here midday during the summer or you may pass out from heat exhaustion" hot. You know, like I almost did. Because I wasn' thinking. Aside from the fact that there is virtually no shade, I really liked this trail! So quiet. You will most likely have it all to yourself (could be a little scary if you think you might pass out from heat exhaustion) or maybe run into a couple of other people. I saw at least 30 bunnies, no snakes (thank God), and a couple of hawks looking for lunch. Poor bunnies. The sun does beat on you so maybe try to go first thing in the AM or as the sun sets. Like I should've done. This is a fairly easy trail with some steep inclines that will get you a little winded. Perfect for beginners and people with thunder thighs who get winded easily going uphill on anything (like me). The loop takes about an hour, give or take. 2 miles. Great thing to do to get some exercise in before work or after. Will go back..once it cools down a bit. read more

I almost hesitate to write a review for here- one of the most wonderful parts of this trail is how empty it is! Great trail, significant hills, but enough flat portions to give you a moment to catch up :) read more

Kid friendly trail, about 2 miles long. You will feel your legs burn after 1.5 miles. read more

One of the first trails I've been to since I moved to Montclair. It isn't too tough, only a few miles, but can still get your heart pumping. Bring plenty of water, because it gets hot! Surprisingly want completely dry when we went through it and we saw a few tiny snakes but nothing too troublesome. I was worried about my dog but we escaped with no bites. Highly recommend going and checking it out, just make sure to plan your route read more

Really Good Trail. Not too far out of the way if you live in the Chino/Chino Hills area. As with most trails unless you enjoy the heat go early. Lots of ups and downs, some steep hills. Not a lot of lot trees or shady areas. The entire trail as about 2 miles. read more

La Sierra Trail Loop - Hiking Near Me - Chino Hills, California

This trail is so pretty! When I first moved to Chino Hills a year ago, I had no idea that the area would be filled with pretty, suburban hiking trails. Coming from LA, the only hiking trail I ever used was Griffith Park. Now don't get me wrong, that place is equally beautiful but La Sierra just has such a calm and different vibe to it. No smog, no noise.... I would definitely recommend coming here even if it's just to view the scenery from the entrance. Lots of people walk their dogs here. I took a couple of pics that I took for a photoshoot with my girl friends and they all came out nice. read more

La Sierra Trail Loop - Hiking Near Me - Chino Hills, California

Five stars as a much needed running trail in the middle of a largely suburban environment. I wish I knew about this place sooner! I'm currently training for a Tough Mudder Half and I needed a hilly, dirt environment to train the hill climbs--this place is perfect for that! The trailhead is situated in the middle of a garden of custom million-dollar homes in Chino Hills. The drive up to the trailhead is short, but I took a detour to admire the wonderful diversity in architecture of the homes in the surrounding area :) The scenery around the trail was actually surprisingly beautiful. Schebarum Park in the City of Industry was my go-to trail run in the area, but this place is much closer to my home and, in my opinion, a much prettier hike. It's currently January and i'm sure the recent showers have helped to make these hills more lively than they have been during California's historic drought. I took the path to the right and found the trail to be of a beginner-moderate intensity trail. There are 3 relatively ascending/descending portions on the trail that gave me hamstrings a run for their money. It took me about 2.5 kilometers to get to the pile of gneiss boulders that you see in the photos, and if you keep going past the boulders for another .5 kilometers you will find yourself leaving the park and entering the street (Chino Hills Parkway). Once I turned around at the street entrance to backtrack to the trailhead I noticed there was a fork in the trail that I had not noticed earlier. I figured that this trail was indeed a loop and proceeded to follow the trail back to the trailhead on La Sierra. 1km from the boulders I came across the entrance to another trail (Monte Verde Trail). All you have to do is hang right and you'll get onto it. I believe this is the "more difficult trail" that other reviewers were referring to when they say they made a left at the La Sierra trail entrance. This trail intersection is right at the bottom of the houses and very close to the trailhead. In all I believe this loop took me about 40 minutes to complete 4.2 kilometers of jogging/walking/resting/taking photos. read more

Very safe, and one really gets a workout. Challenging and scenic. I've observed great sunsets on this trail. Can be lonely. It feels great to be surrounded by nature up there. read more

La Sierra Trail Loop - Hiking Near Me - Chino Hills, California

A little hidden gem hiking trail in Chino Hills! Easy parking, and a pretty simple trail, took less than an hour to walk to whole thing. Only downside is the lack of shade in the area, so it's probably better to go early morning or sunset. I went late morning around 10am, it started to get hotter and sun harsher, so be sure to wear sunblock and bring water. The trail is literally by all the food and retail of Chino Hills, so there are plenty of post hike options for meals. Going to make this a weekly hike if I can! read more

Quiet, serene and isolated once you're 15 minutes into this 2.4 mile hike. On a clear day the vista is spectacular once you walk about ten minutes in. It takes me almost an hour. If you go counter-clock wise on the trail, you only have one small steep hill to conquer. Sometimes, I only see 1-2 other people while on this hike. Once you're at the lowest point where you walk on concrete, curve to the left to go back to your car at the trail head. I think I've watched too many episodes of Criminal Minds so I refuse to do this hike alone because it's so isolated in some areas; yet I have seen quite a few women hiking alone. If you map the corner of La Sierra and Monteverde, you'll find the opening to the trial head. There is a picnic table to watch the sunset at the trial head opening and just enjoy the vista scenery and take pictures. https://www.google.com/maps/place/Monteverde+Dr+%26+La+Sierra+Dr,+Chino+Hills,+CA+91709/@34.0078675,-117.7597452,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m2!3m1!1s0x80c32d6ca72b3fc3:0xb25213025f76149f read more

I'm so lucky that I live a few minutes drive to the trailhead. This is a well kept trail with rolling hills that offers a great workout in less than an hour. The trail is connected to two other trails. The small 1 mile Monteverde Loop and the trail that connects to Grand Ave Park. read more

Very nice Trail!!! First time doing it. Started off fairly easy, but then the steep trails happened. I was huffing and puffing. Lol. Very challenging hike overall. I will definitely be back read more

Trail was awesome except for the coyote that locked eyes with me! I swear I thought I was about to get eaten alive but that's expected when hiking in the hills! I'm a beginner to hiking and this trail was just what I needed to jump start my newbie hiking experience read more

It's a decent hike but it's not shady enough! And there's not much to look at. Good for a heart-rising hike, not good for someone looking for a good view. read more

Great trail to hike whether alone,in a group, or with your doggies. Once you walk down to the first split if you want to take the easier path then take the right path as you walk down the hill whereas if you want a little bit more of a challenge then take the left so you can tackle the steep hill. 2.4 miles long. Took me 50 mins when I took the left path. read more

Nice short trail (can increase by joining other trails). Good if you want to run hills.

My favorite place to go for a walk in nature. The views are breathtaking and the paths are always clean of human debris. If you do the full loop you will get quite a workout! Watch out for snakes in the summer! read more

Great trail! Went for the first time with my dog and got lost for a bit but made it out in under an hour. It's not busy at all and very relaxing. Many wildlife - bunnies, ground squirrels, falcon, woodpecker, birds. If you're going to bring your dog, keep him/her on a leash especially if they are most likely to chase bunnies. And don't forget doggie bags. There are even doggie bags available at the entrance of the trail. read more

Great hike! I'm pregnant and this was perfect for me. The hill at the end is pretty tuff, but then again I hadn't exercised in 10 weeks when I first went on this hike haha! read more

My little shorkie & myself love coming to the this trail daily. It's an awesome workout. "If my 5lb dog can make it through this trail then so can I," is what I tell myself whenever I get to the super steep part of the trail. You'll know exactly what I'm talking about once you get to the top & are gasping for breath. I'll definitely be hiking here daily. read more

This was much harder than I anticipated. I was expecting a quick 2 mile loop I could jog. I took my dogs with and we had to do a walk/run combo due to the hills. We went early in the morning to avoid the heat, thanks to Yelpers advising no shade. If you bring dogs, there are poop bags and water at the trail head, but no garbages on the route so you'll have to carry it back out with you. Fortunately it's a short loop. We made a few wrong turns and had to back track and ended up closer to 3 miles before we got back to the trail head. But I'm directionally challenged so I'm sure most people wouldn't have an issue making it around the loop. Fortunately the wrong turns lead to dead ends or city roads so it's obvious you need to turn around to continue the loop. I'll definitely go back. Great for hill training and the dogs love it. Saw a handful of other groups hiking on an early Sunday morning. Plenty of street parking. read more

I hiked from the Grand Ave Park to La Sierra Trail. I would recommend going to this trail early in the morning when it's cooler, especially during the summer because the sun literally just blazes on you since there isn't any shade. It is a dog-friendly trail, really nice for conditioning, with many small steep hills. read more

This trail is simple and quietly hidden. It trails off into different paths that can be steep or steadily straight if you choose so. It is right by the freeway and it can get windy and quite cold on autumn days so take a sturdy windbreaker. The sunset is beautiful around five o clock though. I love it here. read more

Relaxing, well maintained trail in Chino Hills at the top of La Sierra. Actually quite surprised I didn't see more people on it. Free parking at the trailhead, but no shade on the walk. There are water fountains at the beginning of the trail and some benches, but otherwise nothing along the actual loop. Hike has a bunch of up and downs. There are also junctions to split off onto other trails for a longer walk. Scenery is rolling hills and, at the north side of the loop, views of Mt. Baldy. It's an easy but pleasant walk to do in about 60 to 90 mins, depending on your pace. It's near the shopping areas on Peyton, so there's a bunch of places to go for post-hike food or drink. read more

This has become my all time favorite local trail. I always take the left path because it's more challenging and think it will be a breeze...each time I am wrong lol. But in the end it's worth the sense of accomplishment you feel. I wouldn't recommend going at night, of course we wanted to see what it would be like and went at 9pm. We took flashlights and saw spiders that were as big as our hands...needless to say that motivated us to run uphill to get away as far as possible lol. Overall it will take anywhere between 40-60 mins. read more

this is my go to trail because its right by my house. not too long of a loop (~3 miles) but the hills make it a nice little challenge to run ,hike, or bike. my dog loves this trail as well. At the entrance you can find a water fountain that accommodates both you and your pup, as well as a table to cool off at or have a nice little picnic after your hike. read more

Great walk, little steep if you go left. Great first timer for hiking and getting a good workout.
