One of the best hidden secrets in LA county is this beautiful local trail that gives you breathtaking views of the San Gabriel mountains, Mt Baldy and an expansive panoramic view of the San Gabriel Valley. This trail is not too steep and very well maintained. It is mostly exposed so definitely wear lots of sunblock and a hat.
I absolutely love this trail! The view you get to see is so beautiful and rewarding. Expect to see lots of nature and wildlife. The trail does pass through a residential area, main streets, and along the back of people's houses. However, it doesn't interfere with your venture. ---------------------------------------------------- Recommended activities: Hiking, Running, Biking, Dog Walking, Birdwatching, Walking Parking space: Plenty of parking Parking options: Free street parking Parking: The trail forms a large loop, allowing you to park your car at various points and start your hike. Dog-friendliness: This trail is great for hiking with your dog. There were many dogs on the trail, but it's important to note that it can be a little challenging. Make sure to bring some water for your pup.
Enjoyed this lovely trail during one of my recent trips to Walnut to visit family. The trail was easy- moderately difficult as it has many inclines but the views were amazing! There were picturesque backdrops and lots of nature / wildlife to take photos of. We wound up going through the three oaks neighborhood on our way back and it made for some lovely sightseeing. We were even able to get some views of downtown LA since it was a clear day. Would hike this trail again for sure!
Seeking out new areas to walk and hike and this was quite a beautiful trail. I still dont know where it starts as I ended up parking somewhere near the 22.25 mile marker. The direction I was walking was very much uphill but you are rewarded with some beautiful views. Bring some water and take your time! Other people's comments on wildlife are correct. I turned off my podcast to listen to some of the birds. Since the trail is pretty empty you end up startling some of the wildlife so definitely came upon lizards scrambling away and rabbits bounding off, squirrels gnawing on things and scrambling up to keep an eye on us hikers. Definitely wear sunblock, hat, sun protective clothing. Other reviewers are correct that not many areas have shade.
This listing is misleading. It isn't a park, but a trail system that spans 24 plus miles. Next to the park, there's a trail the leads up or to the side. It connects to other trails. This particular one can go 8 miles . Park on top of country willow rd, you'll see a yellow gate, large water service tank facility and trails can start here. Safe, clean friendly people, for walks jogs runs and biking. Trails can be challenging.
This is another review for this hiking trail. It's nestled in a town called Walnut and on top of the canyon. Bring a hat.
I love to hike and discovered this gem. Make sure to hike during cloudy days because the heat can get to you with this hike in the beginning. Steep in the beginning but it gets easier with a great view. This was my 2nd time and will come back again.
Difficulty: Moderate Distance: About 3.5 miles Highlights: A mysteriously wrecked car along the trail, scenic views Park for free at Walnut Ranch Park and take a short walk heading west on Amar to find the entrance to this hidden gem. There is a conspicuous sign that marks the start so you can't miss it. While the first half of the hike is a good workout that is filled with uphill switchbacks through dry brush, the latter part is mostly flat and/or downhill that takes you through what seems to be the big backyard of a residential community. Make sure to wear sunscreen because there is very little shade along the entire trail. There are a few overlooks near the latter part that provide nice views of surrounding cities. The best thing about this hike - you'll find more peace and quiet here than at hikes such as Cahuenga Peak. One more thing, how did that Chrysler LeBaron end up at the bottom of the ravine?!
The entrance is about 0.25 mile from the parking lot along Amar Road. Following the route suggested by https://nobodyhikesinla.com/2011/04/16/schabarumlemon-avenue-loop-walnut, we started the loop by veering right to tackle the climb first. There were a bit of switchbacks going up, but the inclines were not difficult. Once we arrived to the top, we saw a view of the city and then proceeded on to the well-maintained paths back to the trailhead. Well-marked, this trail reminded me parts of Aliso Summit and Crystal Cove where you are strolling next to luxury homes. DISTANCE: about 3-4 miles, less than 2 hours to complete. DIFFICULTY: easy, with some runners and bikers PARKING: free in the small lot by Walnut Ranch Park or at Westhoff Elementary School
Nice, easy trail with first half uphill, and the later half downhill or flat if you head from the Trailhead up. I am curious about an older wrecked car a short distance off the trail in the woods at the bottom of the very tall hill we climb. The only nearby road is in the new subdivision far above, unless part of the trail not as far up served as a road or a path it found itself on what appears to have been a sad, fateful day. Some quiet residential walking beginning the 2nd half to near the end. A couple of lookouts along the way, each with a bench or two and a picnic table for a peaceful lunch break. Enjoy!
Miles: 1.5 - 2 miles round trip Scenic: nothing but residential and a creepy rusted car in the middle of the canyon Level: easy-going. A few switchbacks to run for the people that want a challenge Time to go: Early morning
Walked the trail twice, its a really good trail and you can walk down from the top of the houses in order to circle back to Westoff if you parked there and walked. Both trails lead to the same top part and make sure you wear hat, sunglasses, good walking shoes, and bring a water. Decent hikers should take about an hour if you only do half the trail then two hours if you do the full trail, including up and down the hill.

Tried a new (to us) trail in Walnut and I love how it's not crowded and the trails are wide. The only thing is that every time I walked, the dirt would fly off my shoes and the back of my leggings are dirty. The pebbles also fall into my shoes while walking that I had to stop by several times. Love seeing all the different types of plants too! Also there is private security driving around to make sure the place stays safe. The view it nice and the air feels clean because the area isn't congested with cars and traffic. read more
Gorgeous early morning hike on the Schabarum Trail in Walnut! The fog was so thick that you could only see about 20 feet in front of you at some parts. It was like walking in the clouds! I hate being hot when I hike, so it was luxurious. read more

Enjoyed hiking to this trail. Parking was easy and FREE ! And the start of the trail from the top was huge, it looked like it would be fun to ride a bicycle. Lots of beautiful houses around, our trail took us to the Main Street, from there we followed a narrow path surrounded by dry bushes and pretty flowers all the way to top where we parked. The walk to the top was tough, be careful with the bushes ! We didn't see the abandoned car from the other pictures though. Was kinda hoping to see that, maybe next time ;) read more

This is my new favorite mini hike trail. I love the fact that it's hard on the beginning with medium incline the rest is easy. For some people who may have a hard time finding the entrance you walk on Amar. You'll soon find the entrance to the right. I went for a jog at 7am finished by 9:10am. Overall, it's a good morning cardio work out. You get a lovely view of the 10 freeway(ikea and Wells Fargo) once you reach to the top. Next, once you make way to Lemon you'll find a pit stop with the view of industry and walnut. read more

Great hike!! It's about a 5 mile loop. It ends up in a residential area but that makes it feel safe. We started on the right hand side first which is a little more intense, practically going all uphill! It has great views of the city and nice landscaping as well. read more

Very scenic! The parking lot is small, but close by to the trail. As soon as you start the trail it hits with an incline. From reading the other reviews people say that it's easy, but I'm not an active person so I found it to be a little intense. Of course it's manageable but if you're really out of shape like me it's perfect. I like how in the beginning of the trail it totally looks like an enchanted place from a movie, maybe even a horror movie if you go in the evening, but as soon as you make it to the top it's a super cute walking trail. You go from it being a loney and not city like setting to a nice walking trail. It's also for horses and bikes. It's in a nice neighborhood. Everyone is super friendly. The only con I can say is that there a lot of dog poop but other than that it's great. Love it and I will definitely be coming back. read more

Where's the entrance to this trail? I've gone through Schabarum park-Colima park entrance and seems to cut off at one point?
Is it dog friendly?
Yes, lots of people walk their dogs on the trail, always on a leash though.
