This hiking trail is worth the trek! The panoramic city views from the top are stunning and make every step worthwhile. The trail is well maintained and has a mix of scenery and exercise. The only thing that could make it even more perfect would be a waterfall along the way. Other than that, it's an incredible hike that I'd definitely do again! One of my local favorites. read more

4 stars because I wasn't sure where the parking was! I wish they had made it clearer for people to indicate where the parking is and I parked on the streets. I only discovered that there was a parking lot after the fact that I had to go towards the trail. There are hiking trails that connect with one another. Definitely go on a cooler day and start earlier if you proceed to go to this hiking trail. It doesn't have a lot of shade. So it's best to bring a hat as well! read more

Scores a strong 3.9 Great area to explore. Trails are varied and naturally inspired. And the benefit.that it links to other trails , makes this a system of parks that is inspiring and challenging. read more

Beautiful, well-maintained trail near Fullerton/La Habra. I came during in the Spring (April) and there was a huge bloom! A lot of tall yellow and purple flowers ran alongside the trail. There are a few different loops you can do ranging from 2, 4, 6, miles. I did the 4-mile trail (look up Powder Canyon and Schabarum Loop on AllTrails). Clean, dog-friendly, and safe. Also free parking! What more can you ask for? Free curbside parking right at the trail head (search Black Walnut Trailhead on Google Maps). There is also a small parking lot if you drive into the park on the dirt road from Fullerton Road. There were a decent amount of people when I came on a Sunday morning at 10 AM but still a lot curbside parking spots left. I feel like this place is one of more underrated places to hike in OC. Check it out. read more

Moderate intensity hike for a good work out! The trail itself can get pretty confusing since it has various split off points and multiple points of entry. If you know the area well enough, you can chain together a longer or shorter hike based on your preference. I followed Modern Hiker's trail guide (https://modernhiker.com/hike/hiking-powder-canyon/) to not get lost and for time/mileage tracking purposes. Most of the hike is exposed (no shade) with a few pretty intense hills. I didn't bring my hiking poles but wished I did. We lucked out on an overcast day so it wasn't as bad, but the tradeoff meant no views. What was nice was that we showed up on a Sunday closer to 10am and there was still plenty of parking and the trails were not crowded at all. Bathrooms: 1 porta potty at the trailhead, and then about midway through - real bathrooms when you are in the regional park Parking: there is a free small lot, or you can park on the streets on Fullerton Road (in front of the "Black Walnut Trail") which is my preference because I didn't want to drive through the dirt road to get to the actual lot read more

Great area to hike with clear signage and ample trails. Some of these hills will jack you up but that's a good thing.

Surprised I never shared this but it's been sitting in an old account. Been coming here for over 20 years now. Here's one time a baby mountain lion crossed my path right in front of me (July 28, 2017). Then as it walked away it looked at me one more time where then I took this photo. You'll see other animals here and there but in that moment I literally was in awe*. It had such beautiful yet intense eyes. Such great trails in this area. read more

It's been a while since I did this hike, but oh my. It's so hot. A lady passed me saying good morning, and I was taken aback. Maybe I shouldn't have pulled an all-nighter? It's so hot! There's a lot of dry shrubbery, so I guess I'll have to wait until it rains again to see some green. I know some people maintain the trails here but I feel like it's been some time since anyone whacked the bushes. I felt like there were a lot of cars parked in the lot, but didn't really see a lot of people on the trail. However, for the first time I saw a little snake and two deer near the entrance. I love seeing the wildlife. There is some shade along the trail the further you go in, but it is still very dry. I do regret not bringing water, but then again, where would I go empty myself. I wish there was a restroom here... But anyway, it was quite brutal. I was ill-prepared because I sometimes get lost on this hike, so thank the heavens it was daytime. I tried running down parts of it, and the shady, breezy portions were so worth it. read more

My cousins live 9 minutes away from this trail, and my aunt suggested it. It was a beautiful day, and not too hard of a hike at all! We stayed on the main trail, and it took about an hour to get to the peak. There were cool plants all around and many other hikers who were very friendly. If you are in the area I suggest this hike! I do wish there was a creek or something because I love nature trails with some water element, but it is an easy trail to hike with the family! read more

This hike was on par!!! Loved the views, the trail was good and it wasn't too crazy for amateur hikers yet not too easy for us experienced hikers. We went at a great time because the leaves had changed colors and it was gorgeous Fall foliage. And it was a bit windy that day so seeing the leaves fall was so peaceful. As we hiked up a bit we got to a point where you could see Pacific Palms hotel. And a lovely view of the 60 freeway and north. But before that, if you miss a turn you end up by stables and that would lead you to Schabarum park - which means we took the wrong path. There was some parts of this hike which had nice shade but I'm sure in the summer it gets hot. read more

This is the first place dog dad took me and our baby hiking--it's my favorite trail, due to proximity and the shaded areas, but also my least favorite, because dodging the different sizes of poop is always interesting with our curious pup (horses, dogs, and miscellaneous wild animals?). There are various entrances (along with a parking lot), but we prefer street parking on Fullerton Road and entering via that trailhead. This place has an abundance of trails/routes, so you can really pick the difficulty you want for the day (there's a pretty horrific lookin' one that goes straight up the mountainside--not my thing with my fear of heights). We usually take a nice easy path that offers roughly 50% shade time for the little guy, and it gives us a chance to work with him on ignoring other people, cyclists, children, dogs, horses, and piles of poop (training is a lifestyle, and he's a work in progress). This place is absolutely gorgeous in every season, and it's my favorite thing to watch the seasons change throughout the landscape. You should keep an eye out for coyotes though--one of them followed us for 1/5 of our hike one time (around 9 AM), and we couldn't decide if he wanted to demonstrate his own great walking skills to Mochi or if our baby looked like a great mid-day snack. read more

We decided to go for a hike on a breezy Saturday morning, Upon looking we noticed that Powder canyon was a short drive away. Power canyon is located in the la Habra heights area. Parking can be a little tricky, I just happened to get lucky the day we went. I wouldn't recommend dogs on this trail because when we were coming down one of the hills and spotted a coyote. It was in the middle of the day, so little creepy for our little fur babies. The hike itself was easy. Definitely recommend going in the early morning or on a cool day, there is little to no shade so the heat can get to you. It was probably a half mile straight up and multiple trails that lead you to different parts of the mountain. Due to the prior said coyote, the trail was cut short and we were forced to take another route. We actually found our way to a park, the path to go back took quite a while, possibly a mile and a half to get back to our cars. Over all it was an ok hike but there was a lot of trash and empty beer cans and hardly anything to look at, a lot of the trees were burned down. read more

Powder Canyon - Hiking Near Me - La Habra Heights, California

Powder Canyon is an area within the Puente Hills Preserve. They are managed by Puente Hills Habitat Preservation Authority. There are several trails in this area that takes you to different places. I normally park on Fullerton Road by the Rowland Water District and take either the Black Walnut trail, or the Powder Canyon trail for a hike. The Black Walnut trail is the steeper hike and gives you a great workout. You can take trail and walk into Schabarum Park and avoid the weekend parking fees. It's too far to walk if you are going there for a weekend picnic. It's a great area. There are lots of people on the trail. Be careful where you park and what you leave in the car. It looks like cars are routinely broken into wheter you park on the street, or in their parking lot as there is always broken glass. It's a nice place to hike with a couple of hiking options. read more

Powder Canyon - Convenient parking lot - Hiking Near Me - La Habra Heights, California

This is my favorite place in the whole world and I go here almost every day. I get here from my backyard but I've met lots of other people who get here from Schabarum Park or a trail head off of Fullerton Road. I know this because they get lost and ask my humans how to get back. If this happens to you, just keep in mind that the main fire road/trail goes east-west perpendicular between Fullerton Rd. and Hacienda Blvd. so use the sun as your guide. I know this trick because I'm always looking for shade to cool my paws and I notice how it shifts all day. So the trails are awesome! There is a fire road that loops around to view the San Gabriel Valley to the north and the LA Basin and OC to the west and south. My humans like to say, "look at Catalina and the ships - it's so clear today!" But all I know is there are lots of lizards. I chase them. Once I got one but its tail came off in my mouth and it ran away. I'm still a little freaked out about that experience. Speaking of lizards, at the tippy top of the hill on the north loop overlooking the SGV, you can climb behind the trees and there's this awesome shady area with a big log to sit on. My humans like to find lizards here and watch them drink water out of tiny cups. I don't get it but I thought it was worth mentioning. If you're walking up from Schabarum there are a few other areas right off the path to climb on logs and trees. This is a peaceful place where the endorphins flow from the hike, you can clear your mind, and relieve stress. Not that I have stress because I'm a fun-loving pupper. Check out the pics. read more

Black Walnut trees provide a delightful contrast to light tan soil on the trail. You can choose to "ruff it" and drive "on the gravel" to corral then hike to Schabarum Park (and stables). Like it quick and dirty? If yes then take the Black Walnut trail and 1 mile of non-stop climbing. Back and forth is 5 miles and offers decent views of Rowland Heights to La Puente. Lupin grows wild and mule deer were spotted on the last hike. Dogs on leash are permitted. Powder Canyon Trail is the "take it easy" route if you are into that of course. Solitary on weekdays and lively groups on weekends here along with horseback riding. Trails are good for joggers, mountain bikers and hiking. Water is available. If you are up for a climbing challenge, then tackle the "Purple Sage Trail." Scenic! Map is here: http://www.habitatauthority.org/trails/ read more

LOVE this trail for a number of reasons. pros: - local to me. less than ten minute drive from me - multiple trails, you can tailor your hike to be as strenuous or as easy as you want, or as long or as short as you want - plenty of parking on the street, as well as at the entrance - nice mix of shade along some parts of the trail - plenty of wildlife - squirrels, birds, deer, snakes - variety of hills you could go up (work out those gluts!) - dog friendly - main trails are wide - trails good for dogs, horses, humans, and bikers cons: - irresponsible dog owners - please PICK UP YOUR POOCH'S POOP! - no trashcans along the trail, only one near the parking lot or in schabarum park *tip* try to wear layers. while it does get hot in the sun, in some of the valleys there is a very definite cold breeze that can be very chilly. would i come again? YES read more

First time I hiked here, I parked on Fullerton Rd. and walked from there on Powder Canyon Trail. Then I saw there was a parking lot inside! You can hike from Fullerton Rd, Black Walnut Trail also starts there. Power Canyon trail is a little difficult to drive on. If you're a map person like me, this is a good map to look at or print out. http://www.habitatauthority.org/newsite/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/map-Powder-Canyon-2012.pdf Powder Canyon merges with Schabarum Park somewhat. The first time I hiked Powder Canyon I ended up hiking Schabarum Park trails as well. You can try starting at Powder Canyon trail (some shade, some exposed, sometimes even deer!), take Purple Sage up (check the trail markers, bit of an incline/good workout), meet up with Schabarum Trail and take it back to Powder Canyon Trail. Powder Canyon is relatively easy trail. Not too long, not too complicated. What I like best is how uncrowded it is. The people that do go are usually solo or in small groups, older, usually Asian. Sometimes I can go for 30 minutes without seeing another soul. It's a good hike if you need some alone time or peace and quiet. The only animals I've seen are rattlesnakes on super hot days or deer. I've yet to see any other animals. The trails are wide and well maintained. For the most part Powder Canyon is exposed so come early or late, and bring a hat and water. read more

Another trail to like or love located in La Habra Heights & right before Rowland Heights (I get confused and always think it's Rowland Heights). It's about a 6 mile loop trail and does lead into Schabarum park trail. There are horses and mountain bikers and enough room for all to enjoy. Some spots are shaded and most of it is open to the sun. Sun block, sun cap & water for this one on Sunny days. These trails offer a variety of paths that you can take to make it a workout or an easy hike. I recall taking Powder Canyon trail to the Purple Sage Trail (links up w/Schabarum trail, can end up being a nice long 1 1/2 to 2 hour hike). Again an excellent workout. People are usually friendly and/or to themselves which is how most of us like it. Parking is free and lot is open until sunset. There is parking available inside or one can park on the street and walk in, it's that close. Make sure you look up map online and plan it out if your not too familiar with it. And finally, I agree w/Felicia's comments on her review, it's probably a good idea to go w/a hiking partner and not to go too late. read more

What a hike. I don't know if it was the elevation gain or the temperature on the summer Saturday in which I hiked this trail but whew wee I was happy to get back to my air conditioned car. We found Powder Canyon from modernhiker.com and followed the hiking guide. All in all it was about 5 miles round trip with a 919 feet elevation gain. It's neat that the trail is a loop, part of it in the Puente Hills Habitat Authority lands and part of it in Los Angeles County's Peter F. Schabarum Regional Park. The trail is well marked and we did not run in to any mountain lions, snakes, or any wildlife really - and that is A-OK with me!!! The views were beautiful and it was neat we were able to hike in and around the canyon. The best views - in my opinion - were overlooking the city and up near the phone line towers. Another highlight were the equestrian stables randomly situated in the middle of the park. I think there are other places to hike that are a bit cooler but if you're specifically looking for a hike in this area, then it's a good one for you! read more

Powder Canyon - At some point there are a bunch of goats... - Hiking Near Me - La Habra Heights, California

Beautiful trail until but the extension trail is completely over grown. Trail is barely noticeable.

Free parking at the schabarum park entrance off of Colima road by Azusa. It is $6.00 on the weekends. You can also park for free in the parking lots off of Fullerton road, but it is gravel and dirt and I think you are more susceptible to getting your car vandalized or burglarized. Wherever you park, all trails eventually will lead up and it is pretty hard to get lost. Trails are not too tough and are pretty well maintained. There is not a lot of trash, but you do have to look out for some horse poop and the occasional holes and rocks. Bring some water and cover because a lot of the trails do not have any shade and it gets pretty hot. Lots of big groups of Chinese people like to hike these trails. Some can be pretty loud and can ruin a nice peaceful hike. read more

Wow, I never knew until recently I lived so close to such nice trails! Like within walking distance from home! This review is about the 4 main trails of the Powder Canyon area, which are Powder Canyon Trail, Schabarum Trail Extension, Black Walnut Trail, and Purple Sage Trail. 1. The Schabarum Trail Extension could be found behind the brick walls by the Fullerton Rd. & Pathfinder Rd. intersection. It's a nice long trail (longest out of the 4), but without much tree shade at first that eventually ends just short of the horse stables at Schabarum Park. Some fun "switchbacks" in the shade and narrow connector trails to both Black Walnut and Powder Canyon Trails. 2. The Black Walnut Trail is a 1 mile climbing trail that starts just ahead of Powder Canyon Trail and eventually meets it. It will take you to some of the higher parts of the east Powder Canyon area, although the view is often tainted by power lines and high voltage towers. If you're feeling adventurous, you can follow the narrow trails at the peak that connects to Schabarum Trail Extension. 3. The Purple Sage Trail is mostly up by the peaks and meets with Powder Canyon Trail on one side and Schabarum Trail on the other side. You can avoid the climb to it by driving all the way to the end of Skyline Dr. and starting by the water tanks. Otherwise you will have to hike up from Powder Canyon Trail or Schabarum Trail to find Purple Sage Trail which is a pretty good uphill workout. At the end of this trail going west, which you can continue on the Schabarum Trail all the way towards Hsi Lai Temple. You should be able to see the orange roof of the temple as you head towards Hacienda Rd. 4. As for the Powder Canyon Trail, it starts off very nicely under the shade of trees and will eventually hit Schabarum Trail by the horse stable at Schabarum Park. I find crossing the bridge there and going uphill and coming back down the other way is an excellent hike (a 3.2 mile loop). Otherwise, the trail is not very hard. In fact, none of these trails are difficult, and is probably perfect for beginners and those with physical limitations. For me, Powder Canyon is 5 stars because of its proximity to home and the variety of trails you can mix and match. I customize a different hike everytime and rarely come back the same way I left. Not only that, it connects to the beautiful Schabarum Park and the Schabarum Trail which can take you all the way to the 605 freeway through the Puente Hills. A hidden gem of this neighborhood for sure! Here's the map of the trails, it would probably help to print it out and bring it along your first time: http://www.habitatauthority.org/trails/ read more

"I can't lie around and be lazy. I am a Thing-Finder, and when you're a Thing-Finder you don't have a minute to spare... The whole world is full of things, and somebody has to look for them." -- Pippi Longstocking (Astrid Lindgren) One of my hiking buddies is a wonderful guy named Jay. I've known Jay for almost two decades. If I had to relegate describing him to one word, it would be "thorough." This guy dots every "i" and crosses every "t". That's probably why he's such an incredible ER nurse by profession. What the heck does Jay have to do with Powder Canyon? Well, see, Jay is a Geocacher. What is that you say? It is best explained by Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geocaching That said, Jay, another friend Kristina and I went off to explore the relatively short (1.74 mile loop) of the Powder Canyon Trail, Black Walnut Trail and Nogales Trail. Thanks to a very wild goose chase looking for assorted Geocaches, that hike turned into a mile more than that distance LOL! Funny thing... we didn't find a one. But we did spend a comical 15 minutes pulling a wide assortment of thorny stickers out from his sweats and t-shirt before he could get back in the car. (He took a spill behind one of the trees he SWORE the cache was located behind.) http://files.meetup.com/1578994/LoRes_Powder_Cyn.pdf WHAT I LIKED ABOUT POWDER CANYON: 1.

There are many different trails that can be taken from the Powder Canyon parking lot. The trails basically connect to one another, so it's not really easy to get lost. Most of the trails are also marked. The particular hike that we took was about 7 miles round trip with 1243' elevation gain/loss. We started at the parking lot via Powder Canyon Trail, then connected to Purple Sage Trail. From there we went right onto Schabarum Trail. We continued on this trail all the way to Schabarum Park, circled around and connected back to Powder Canyon. This hike is pretty easy, but it is a pleasant and peaceful hike. The trail is a wide, smooth, dirt fire road with no rock under foot. There is only one short hill that is pretty steep. There is no real shade, and you will be exposed to the elements the entire route, so choose your timing wisely. Views are not much to look at compared to other hikes. tip- very dog friendly trail parking - free lot read more

Been here a few times to hike and so far no complaints! The parking is pretty easy, just park up ahead..once u turn down fullerton road it's up on the right you'll see rocks and a white gate that's open just follow that and you'll see parking on the dirt instead of the street which you could park their too. Theirs different trails you can go on just look for the signs on the wodden posts along the way. Once you get farther in at least on powder canyon you'll see a trail straight up incline which is a definite workout. People are friendly and always say hello. You will see horses on the trail so watch out for their drippings. Bring lots of water cuz it can be a workout. You will also mtb riders but their courteous and usually have a bell on their bikes and can hear them coming. I will be taking my mtb soon and see how that goes! read more

I've actually hit this trail from a few different angles. I've taken it from the trail heads on the website listed on bike. It's a safe fun ride. I'm definitely no pro mountain biker so had to walk up a few hills but had a good time. There are some snakes and the likes but nothing crazy up here. On one occasion I hoofed it up a side trail up to the top and walked along until I got to Hacienda above Hsi Lai. We passed some tv station antenna and a water tower. It is definitely a nice .5 escape from the city. I say .5 because when you get to the top you have La Puente on one side and La Habra/Whittier/Buena Park etc on the other. On a clear day you can catch a really nice view of Catalina and the mountains. Watch out for horse poop. read more

I guess Cali does have a winter drought. Nothing spectacular about this place but I do like the fact that there is plenty of parking. Other than that, I just feel like I am walking aimlessly into the dry hills.

I would not say that this place is my favorite go to place, but it is a great place for a morning hike to get your cardio on. Lastly, I wish pet owners (horses i understand) would clean up after their pets. It's pretty gross seeing lots of feces hanging around... BRING YOUR OWN POOP BAG PLS! read more

Nice place for a short, brisk walk. My friend brought me here Sunday morning and it was not crowded at all. There was plenty of street parking available in front of trail entrance. Only bummer was that by the time I started to break a sweat and really get into my groove it was over. I don't know how far you can actually go, but I suspect most people skip this place because the views and nature feels are nonexistent.

This is a great hike to go with your beloved animal and/or a good workout. I haven't been far in enough, but the parts I've been on, my only thing is there's no water or trash so you're stuck for the trip. It's not a big deal, just be prepared. The trails seem to be about 2 miles for a short loop and can go as far as 7-8 (maybe longer). I hear there's a lot of ticks but I haven't encountered any yet...... Hopefully not (but, maybe just put some advantage or something on your dog, just in case)! I'd say it's worth a 15 minute drive, probably not more than that. read more

You do have to watch for people and horses and dogs when you bike/run. There are tons of trails that go all the way from Rowland Heights to Whittier, CA. I heard that this trail can also go to Brea, but I don't know how and I have never tried. read more

The trail wasn't crowded with people at all. just a couple people here and there, that were all surprisingly very friendly. The trail itself is very peaceful and relaxing to just walk. A lot of trees which makes for a nice breeze of air as you enjoy the scenery. I will definitely be coming back here and trying the trail I didn't the first time. read more

DISCLAIMER: BE CAREFUL WHERE YOU PARK TO AVOID PARKING TICKET! The hike was wonderful. There are lots of trails and I saw wild quails and deer during my hike! However, please be careful where you park! This was my first time at Powder Canyon. I used the address indicated on yelp and google, put it in my GPS and arrived. When I arrived, I saw a bunch of cars lined and parked on the side of the dirt road. There was a no stopping sign but because I saw so many other cars parked I decided to do the same. Do NOT do this!!! When I got back from my hike I got a $93 ticket! At the entrance of the trail, there is a small-ish parking lot in the dirt road next to the equestrian ring. I should've parked there instead! Just fyi! But overall. I really enjoyed my hike. It was a good mixture of steep and flat hills. read more
