This trail has a lot of shade, a few water crossing that can easily be jumped since there's not a lot of water. We share the trail with bikes and horses to be sure to keep an ear out. I would say this hike is moderate to hard depending on experience. This trail will connect you to the Claremont Loop, out and back is about 11 miles. Definitely a good trail to train in.

Didn't experience many bugs or see much wildlife but could be a possibility.

Now let's begin this hiking adventure review…read more Mystic Canyon Trail is short trailhead with a steady elevation gain of 700 ft that reaches 1,908 feet (hoisted flag point). This trail's degree of difficulty is considered Moderate albeit challenging. The trail is well kept and easy to navigate with little pockets of tree shades along the way. Hence, a hat and sunscreen and plenty of water are recommended. Furthermore, this M.C. trail interconnects with Lower Monroe and Punk Out trails. I proceeded further to 2,069 ft of the Punk Out trail. Views are amazing! Going back to the parking lot was a breeze. Parking lot is not big but can hold ~25 vehicles. Overall, this hiking trail is great for experienced hikers, family and dogs.

This hidden trail route is considered easy to moderate with an elevation gain of 625 feet. Moreover, this trial is good for dogs (unleashed), family, and kids. Plenty of tree shades and stream crossings. You'll see a thriving flora and fauna throughout the park. Similarly, you'll find yourself swinging in an old used tire and/or rope. I really dig it. Hikers were quite friendly and trail was not crowded. Parking can be found by Lyman Staging area and San Dimas avenue. Overall, I enjoyed visiting Walnut Creek Park. I highly recommend you visit.

I've only heard about this spot, but have never been so I was excited to explore. The hike is not shaded and has a steady incline, so I was grateful that it was overcast and cool most of the day. The trail is wide enough for a car to drive on, and no major rocky areas, so I would say that if you were reeeeeally ambitious and wanted to push a jogging stroller up and down, you probably could. There are occasional bikers that we passed, but otherwise just a few hikers doing this trail, much less than the number of people doing the loop, which I actually liked. With the exception of the ugly graffiti on the concrete thing at the top, we were rewarded with a beautiful view of the valley on one end, and snow capped mountains on the other end. It didn't take that long to summit ( I think it took us less than an hour each way), so if you have a couple hours for something a little more challenging than the loop, this is a good hike! Parking is available in the lot starting at $10 (Yikes!) on the weekends. Enjoy!

This is a fantastic intro hike it's about 1 mile to the falls and you can make it longer by parking farther down the mountain or hike up farther the trail to go above the falls.
