Took the path from LA sierra to Main Street and back. Around 11 miles, it's pretty easy. No hills. 9/26/24
Use trail at your own risk! I am 65 yrs old and have been running, skating or bicycling this trail at the southern end for over 40 years. In the last 5 years it has deteriorated into a free for all playground for any type of speeding motorized vehicle imaginable. Dirt bikes, ATV's, UTV's, Mini-bikes...and worst of all, E-bike riders that speed along at 30 to 50 mph and pass within inches of you. Now there are teenager E-bike "gangs" that take over both lanes of the path and flip you off when you tell them to move over. It's completely out of control now. I personally know of one man that was taken to the emergency room at Los Alamitos for broken ribs after being forced off the path and into the rocks by E-bikers. Motor driven vehicles of any kind should never be allowed into this HPV trail and I hope something is done about it soon before someone is killed, if that has not already happened. I feel my safety is threatened to bicycle in the SGRT any more. It's safer in marked bicycle lanes in traffic now IMO.
Great location but an overwhelming amount of homeless along the route. Alot of places smell like piss or weed. Better to look for another trail
New experience after all these years of cycling and blading. Went with family to ride bicycles. We start behind county records located at 222 Hospitality Ln. Too many homeless with dogs. A white dog chased us on the bike trail between county records and industrial buildings next door. It's worse on the weekends. Apparently, the homeless know that there is no security at night and on the weekends. Do not leave your car there.
This is one of my go to short and quick rides. I start from Valencia park in Jamboree and end at Peters Canyon trail head. It's a beautiful trail with a mild slope.
About 4 miles of paved trail from walnut to Sand canyon. Runs along metrolink railway and there is a park along the way if you want to take a break. I started from west point Irvine in Jamboree then took Peters Canyon from Bryan to Harvard and Walnut trail. It was 13.6 miles of nice relatively easy ride.
Ride this trail from the beach to about the 10 mile marker. Nice well maintained. A bit nervous if you don't like steep drop off both sides.
We parked on the western end in the Metro train parking lot at 1st and College in Claremont. Lots of free parking. Rode a few blocks down First and picked up the trail. This trail is in beautiful shape. No trash, no graffiti, no homeless camps. Part of it has a beautiful separate parallel dirt trail for horses and runners. Not too much shade so would be hot in summer. There’s a nice park about 10 miles in on the trail. The downside is the number of street crossings. Only a few of the streets were busy. But the fun part is that in addition to street crossing buttons for bikes they have high up buttons for those on horses.
Rode this on a Wednesday. Wonderful path. One of the best we have been on because it is very wide and well marked. Some areas have separated pedestrian lanes which is always a bonus. We are 4-78 years olds on 3 Ebikes and one Etrike. We are always respectful of other riders and walkers. There were quite a few people using the path-enough to make it fun. Probably crowded on weekends. The bluff above the portion that is the Huntington Dog Beach was so great for watching all the dogs have a blast in the waves. This will be a repeat path in our travels.
Aliso Creek Trail in the middle of beautiful Orange county. What a great bike path. Easy Breezy. Can connect to Santiago in the north and Laguna in the South.
