    Top of the path! Free oranges to fight Coronavirus!

    Ye Bridle Path is a good compromise between hiking in nature with nice views while not traveling very far. I've parked at Chase bank at the beginning of the trail but most times I start up higher on 19th street and park at the school on weekends. The path is a wide dirt path in the middle of the street with plenty of trees and shade. There's benches throughout the path as well as drinking fountains for humans and dogs. The hike up is safe for the most part and requires no real hiking experience. It's great for people of all levels, kids, etc. The view of the homes that get progressively bigger and more elaborate as you hike closer to the top are breathtaking. Once at the base of the mountain it feels like an accomplishment. The trek down goes a lot faster and is very relaxing at the end. It's about 5 miles total to hike up and back to the start.

    If you are not the athletic type, this is a very nice place for a stroll/walk, and if you are, then go ahead and show off as you run uphill--huffing and puffing all the way. Not off the beaten path or secluded like some of the other local trails so there's no need to pack a survivalist kit. It's right smack dab in the middle of Euclid Avenue. A water fountain or two along the way if you need water, and some benches if you poop out or just want to admire some of the cool looking houses. The further north you get, the more serene it becomes. Earlier in the morning is also a better time. Pretty noisy and lots of traffic down at the south end off Foothill until you get just past 16th St. Our beagles enjoy this walk and don't get weirded out by coyotes and critters that stalk us in other areas that are more like hiking trails/wilderness. So many trees, so little time to smell and pee on! This was Ramsay's choice for his Birfday outing this past weekend. He tagged as many trees as possible!

    I really love this walking path. If weren't 12 miles (one way) from my house it would be absolutely perfect! I used to walk the entire 6 miles with a girlfriend once a week but it gets way too hot in the summer. Now I walk 3 miles round trip by myself 2 or 3x a week. This is the only walk I have found that is completely safe to walk alone and that's what I love about it. It's right in the center of a busy Street, it's lined with beautiful willow trees and plenty of people walking alone but never so many that it's crowded. I love walkin uphill first and then downhill on the return. No wild animals, no creepy snakes, no weirdos... PERFECT for me!

    Always a tranquil walk, the Bridle Path is a 3-mile trail from Foothill Ave to 24th Street, in between the N Euclid median. The trailhead is the Madonna of the Trail monument, the visibly recognized yet often ignored monument "dedicated to the spirit of pioneer women in the United States" (Wikipedia). The path aptly starts at Foothill Blvd for it graciously ascends towards the foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains, yet stops short. The North Euclid median is lined by Pepper trees street-side along the entire 3 mile stretch, offering a cool shade for those afternoon runs or walks. Most people walk, some run, and a few will ride horseback. A note to runners: be keen of the path you run on because the ground is uneven, especially the first mile. It would be to the benefit of the community if the trail was tended to by the city of Upland by removing the old asphalt and leveling the trail altogether. Look no further than to the Pacific Electric trail for an exemplary trail. A few benches line the trail and a water fountain is located at 13th Street and 17th Street. There are mile markers though the one mile marker was knocked over and pending a replacement. Coyotes roam in the early and late hours, but they are quick to scurry on. I prefer a morning walk along the trail because there is minimal noise pollution. Whatever the time of day, squeeze in a little physical activity along this beautiful stretch of Upland.

    Love this trail! I feel safe it's out in the open. Though you hear and see many cars go by, you become in a different place in between all the beautiful trees. They have benches and water fountains. A trolley use to run this path and city picnics were held. I always think of the history of this trail/path. Love it!

    So excited and pumped up for this morning walk!

    I had a lot of fun walking this path and looking at all the beautiful houses around it!! It is nice to go very early in the morning so you don't have to hear the sounds of moving cars (: the directions off of yelp take you to Arrow St. but it really is on Foothill!

    Family and pet friendly. I like the shades from the trees and I enjoy looking at the costumed built houses on both sides.

    I live close by so I decided to cancel my gym membership and walk/jog over here. It's a good 5 mile from my house to Bridle Path back and forth.

    This is more like a walking path in the center divider. Don't drive out of your way if you don't live near to find out like I did...

    Great walking path for people and dogs. 6 miles round trip and a good amount of elevation change.

    My friend and I went hiking in Claremont and intended on doing the loop, but when we saw the sign…read moreleading to Potato Mountain, we decided to head up! 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!

    First time visitor There are not bathrooms anywhere…read more There are a few (3?) trash can / compost / recycle green bins at the start of the trail There is not a designated parking area if coming on MT Baldy RD, park after the last No Stopping Any time sign (will see Angeles Forest large sign) then can park on the side of the road and forward Be aware of oncoming traffic both directions when walking to the trail head Bring a hat, sunglasses, sunblock, water, snacks It is dog friendly but tough for stroller I think based on continual incline and gravel and rocky terrain Also note air may feel thinner as you start the trail so be mindful of your breathing and take rest stops Start of trail will be walking through shaded area with tree and can hear water and as continue the pathway make your descent up As you make your way further up, there will be part to turn left or go straight to the right, head to the left to continue upward - you'll see amazing clouds surrounding the mountain and the trail continuing You'll see a pathway that curves down the hill then back up, a right triangular metal sign will indicate going the right way and almost to the end of the trail. Other markers is seeing small forms of graffiti and the name Joey tagged on things Once on top, enjoy your accomplishment and then it's primarily a down hill return Enjoy Hydrate Limited cell service pending what part of the mountain on Enjoy the birds flowers rock formation little critters that pop In and out Would certainly return to try the other routes to potato mountain

    Good hike good place to take photos and hang out with friends pretty cool place to look atread more

    I did this hike last month in April. We were lucky to do it with good weather. Also, we started…read morethis hike from the northern side where the Stoddard Peak trailhead is located. We started the hike early too, which always helps with a hike of this distance. We started at 5 AM and hiked to Stoddard Peak which is a beautiful and pretty easy hike. We then continued on the main trail south toward Frankish Peak. I have to be honest and admit that I had never heard of this trail until the weak before when I got the invite from one of my hiker friends to join a group of hikers to do this one. We hiked for another 2.5 miles and then reached an area where there are some connected trails and this area was beautiful and we didn't encounter any hikers/mountain bikers during the first half of this hike. At this point we had to make a decision to take a trail way out to the east that looked to be a longer route to Frankish Peak or what looked like a more direct, steeper trail to the peak. We opted for the shorter route...problem was it looked like a trail on the map and looked like it may have actually been a trail at one time but this trail has not been maintained or used by the looks of it in may years. We had to walk through sharp shrubbery and even had to get on our hands and knees and crawl under the brush for portions of the last mile to the peak...most of this last mile was also rather steep. We were also a bit disappointed to not find anything that officially looked like we were at the top of Frankish Peak. We stayed for a while on what looked like the peak according to the map and we also made our way to another high flat area nearby where we found a box with some hiking stickers that might indicate that was the peak. On the way back, we took the longer trail that was better maintained and not as hard Distance- from the Stoddard trailhead to Stoddard Peak and Frankish Peak and back to the parking lot was about 14 miles Duration- I would estimate it to take around 7 to 8 hours of your time including time to eat, take pictures, etc... Difficulty- hard not necessarily due to the overall elevation gain but mainly due to the pieces of steep, rocky stretches and the overall length of 14 miles
