Zanja Peak Trail Head is easily a five star hiking/biking location. I was expecting it to be an…read moreeasy hike, but man was I wrong. I hike here and there, but for zanja I had to take a few breaks on the way up. This location offers many routes and it all depends on your skills. It is most inclines with very few declines. Signs and easy to follow dirt routes will guide you all the way up and down. Worth of advice, bring some water, snacks and some hiking shoes. There is no problem using running shows, but hiking boots make it easier. The Zanja trails are located in a good area near nice neighborhoods, but I did see a few transients. Dirt parking is available at the entrance and cell reception works just fine. The scenery is totally worth the challenge.

Some steep inclines but nothing too bad or dangerous. Some shade when you're about half wayish. Definitely go early morning or evening in summer. Nothing but friendly people, and a good time!

While there are some dirt walk paths, it be difficult to navigate if in a wheel chair or if you have a stroller. There's a good sized parking lot, though during apple-picking season and when it snows it can be a bit difficult to find a spot. Regardless, if you're in the area, it's a place definitely worth the visit. Love and appreciate that they are dog-friendly to leashed and well mannered dogs and free admission, but donations are much appreciated.

Parking and admission is free. Wonderful information at the entrance of the garden. Just outside the garden past the parking lot (you'll see this upon entry) is a bbq spot and a gift shop. After walking around 2.5 miles, I tapped out and cooled down with an apple cider slushy. Lots of apple orchards in the area. I also took home a jar of apple butter as a souvenir. Had such a lovely time- highly recommend!

You do need a pass to park in the lot. There are restrooms at the parking lot if you need to use them. The hike up is a pretty short one with pretty views! There are tons of shade from the trees and the water/waterfall was beautiful!

I had a great time hiking with my senior father in law, and my family. The water was refreshing. The parking looks great this spring. This water flows into Hunington Beach, the sea, the Santa Ana River Wash. It was 52 degrees on group our walk through the creek and Cross the wash. Our walk was cut short by other hikers falling in the creek. Big falls trail will lead you along the river bed to cross the creek to a path of a waterfall overlook. The ice cold water was coming from the area of the mountainside has snow melting as we warm up this Spring season. The creek felt refreshing this morning, I dampened my On Running shoes with waterproof silicone in the waters by crossing the creek on a fallen branch. I refreshed my sun beaten hair with the ice melt waters. I like this trailhead. For years Water from San Bernardino mountains has collected in way of steel pipes that flow by gravity on the steep mountainside above a creek pumped in tunnels to Water Companies piped downhill to be bottled and sold as Arowhead Spring Mountain Water.

At the beginning of the trail is a small, but adequate blacktop parking area. It is also dirt bike friendly with wide paths. Please see my trail maps pic. This shows the overview of the area, and a website for specific maps. At the end of the trail is a loop to a great lookout. There is some up hill grade to get there so pace yourself. The hike is well worth the views of San Tim canyon. There is plenty to see along the way: hawks, lizards and tons of flowers (seasonal) and native vegetation. On the southside of the trail there is a meandering creek that is usually running - so peaceful to hear a babbling brook. The Redlands Conservancy has done a good job in maintaining and protecting the area.

Redlands' Orange Blossom Trail is divided into three distinct segments:…read more The Western segment stretches approximately 2.5 miles from California Street to Alabama Avenue. The Eastern segment spans about 1.3 miles from Grove Street to Wabash Avenue. The Zanja Trail serves as a short connector, linking the trail to Laramie Park and continuing north through residential neighborhoods. The Eastern segment follows the right-of-way of the historic Santa Fe Railway, once part of the famous "Kite-Shaped" tourist line. The Western segment appears to follow the old Southern Pacific route and includes a historic trestle bridge near Lincoln Street. This line originally extended to a separate train station near what is now Redlands Community Hospital. While the station is long gone, the tracks in that area remain active. You can reach the Eastern segment by taking the Metrolink Arrow to the University of Redlands station, then walking just one block. Although this is a bike trail, e-bikes are strictly prohibited. According to the City, they are banned because they "go too fast and are too noisy"--a stance that seems out of touch with how modern electric vehicles actually operate. If you violate this rule, the fine can be $100, and court fees of up to 470% can raise that to $570. The trails are well-maintained and nicely landscaped, with shaded areas and places to sit. However, it can get dangerously hot in summer, and the asphalt tends to radiate a lot of heat. I've found the trails to be relatively safe, but it's still a good idea to walk with a friend when possible. The old Santa Fe right-of-way continues all the way to Mentone Boulevard, and perhaps someday Metrolink Arrow service will extend that far. In the meantime, it's a pleasant walk up to Wabash Avenue.
