Living so close to the South Hills trails, I have done many hikes up in that area. Where is the elderberry trail, which is a short loop. There are also multiple other trails, many of which I have been able to do. My favorite has been Toyon Trail to East View, up a fire road to Alosta Canyon South Fork to the summit of the hills. The hike up Alosta Canyon is brutal, switching back and forth and going straight up. The views are amazing though, and you feel accomplished when you reach the fire road below the summit.
I made the "mistake" of hiking the Walnut Trail yesterday in the damp weather. I say mistake because while it was a good hike, I now have the thick clay of the ground stuck to my boots.
The trail name I cannot remember brings you up to a small, round, stone bench that is on a north-facing ridge. From here you can stop, relax, and take in a nice view of the San Gabriel Valley.
This is just a kick start. Each trail will get it's own special place in the blog. I felt that it would be nice to at least spark interest, and give an overview. Now get out there and make your own adventure.
