Cool local trail…read more Everyone from Norco knows what pumpkin rock is. Pumpkin rock is this huge rock up on the hill that is painted like a pumpkin. Locals maintain the trail, keep it clean, clean up the graffiti, and repaint the rock. Parking is essentially in a neighborhood. The trail itself absolutely has no shade. So bring proper clothing for being in the Sun. Also bring water if you're going on a hot day. When you get to the top, you get a great view of the valley. It's pretty cool to see a rock that looks like a pumpkin. This is the perfect trail during the fall to get in the Halloween spirit and for any Halloween lover.

The Trail does not have much shade and some part of the trail are very gravely. Make sure to wear sun protection and comfortable trail shoes. If you're not used to steep incline, bring trekking pole would help. The trial is pretty stright forward, you will run into a few splits, if you want to hit the doppler, then keep going to your left. I consider this a safe trail and there's mobile reception most of the way. Oh! also, be safe and watch out for the bikers. Some will not use the bell and will come right behind you! Parking is limited, street parking only on Foothill, right in front of the trail.

I had a wonderful hot tea and pastry with my mom at Choco Bakery & Cafe before walking behind the parking lot (behind Building #4254) to find a ramp leading to the sidewalk.

Looking forward to visiting it again since the trail looks well maintained.

Then if you turn back, you have the option of going through the paved road back to your parked car at the chino community center or you can go back through the trail route. I came here on a Saturday morning at around 7:15am and it was a beautiful day with great weather. It was my first time here so I was really just taking my time and following the people ahead of me. The incline makes it a good workout, just be careful when you are going downhill on some of it - I almost slipped because my pup was going so fast/pulling me. Overall, nice views, not a lot of shade, and you can see some cows along the way! I went this past June but I heard from others that if you go in the spring around March / April, it is absolutely breathtaking with all the blooming flowers! I would definitely come back again!

You get to see some cows during the trail and it's definitely not a beginner hike with some hills, but it's a nice workout regardless. For parking I parked at Chino Chills Community Park which is essentially where the trail starts! (Parking is free)

After only about a ten-minute hike, I was rewarded with incredible views of green rolling hills stretching toward snow-covered mountains in the distance. The contrast was stunning and felt more like something out of a painting than Orange County. What makes this park special is how quickly you can find yourself surrounded by open space and quiet. You don't need to be an experienced hiker to enjoy it. Even short walks can lead to beautiful scenery, wildlife sightings, and some fantastic photography opportunities. This visit will always be particularly meaningful to me because I brought my Golden Retriever, Christy, with me. Looking back, it ended up being her last adventure before mobility issues began limiting her ability to get out and explore. I'm grateful we were able to share a day like this together while she was still able to enjoy the trails, the fresh air, and the sunshine. For me, Chino Hills State Park isn't just a beautiful place to hike. It's a place tied to one of my favorite memories with a very good dog. I'll always be thankful for that.

I remember coming here years ago for a super bloom. This place is HUGE! Cell service is also very…read morespotty. I met up with some friends here for our monthly hiking group excursion. The drive into the park and throughout can be a bit sketchy at parts because there are times when the road is so narrow, only one car can pass at a time. They have small turnouts, but it got interesting at some places. You also have to watch out for hikers that are parking down the road and walking into the park to avoid the entrance fee. The ranger at the entrance was very friendly and helpful. He handled the exchange for the $10 entrance fee. You can pay online with their QR Code, but I didn't have service, and they also charge you an additional $0.55 service fee for that service. There are restrooms right at the entrance. The facilities are well-kept and stocked, which we all appreciated. We parked near the Rolling M Ranch Campground. Looks like a decent camping area. They don't allow campfires though. There were campsites available. We started out hiking Ranger Ridge Trail, then swung down to Raptor Ridge Trail. Whew! My quads and calves were BURNING! Those are some steep climbs there! These particular trails are also very narrow with a ton of overgrowth. I was glad I wore long-sleeves, but should have worn pants because the brush tore my legs up a bit. There's also a ton of foxtails and they kept getting stuck in the top of our shoes. Ouch! When we swung back down to Telegraph Canyon Trail, that was wide enough for us all to walk together and had nice spots of shade. That trail was well maintained. There are a ton of hiking trails here. I'd be willing to keep coming back to explore more!

Feeling a little adventurous & want a challenge? This trail will give you a sense of exploration…read more First and foremost, PLEASE bring bug spray! It's a necessity because my friend and I got bit up by insects, and this trail guides you along the small river beds. Try to bring a hiking stick as well, due to steepness at certain areas & to protect yourself from stepping on any rattlesnakes. Always pay attention to which trails you take because it can get quite confusing when you try to head back to the entrance...there's so much vegetation there. I barely saw any people take this same trail so I'd recommend to bring a group of friends to hike with you. This trail is definitely different, it's more of a explore at your own risk type of place since your hiking into the Corona Canyon, but it's quite peaceful to be surrounded by the sounds of nature. We did find the Old Tin Mine that seemed a little creepy, though we didn't hike to the end due to high vegetation/no visible trail and we stayed safe by heading back until next time we come back. Overall, please be safe when visiting this area & watch out for wildlife. :)

You will take the pavement way all the way up to the entrance to tin mine. If you break off to the right, that's ALL incline and known as skyline trail. However, tin mine is not too difficult about 6,000 steps one way. Major plus is that a majority of it is shaded but you are also experiencing a lot of rocky terrain. It's a calming trail and is absolutely beautiful in the fall with all the fall leaves. However, there are no epic city views. You do encounter the old mines but they are boarded up now. Also a bummer because the hike ends abruptly. We did manage to go a little further then the trail end sign because we were expecting more but the boulders were becoming difficult to climb and didn't want to risk any injury. Otherwise, not much incline just some boulder climbing. Please note a lot of poison ivy along this hike so I recommend a long sleeve shirt. Otherwise, there is no cell service once you start trekking tin mine, but will pick back up once you hit the pavement down. Also there is NO residential parking allowed so be sure to park on the street (see photos attached).
