Omg! This Mountain is insane! It is a serious hike but it was so much fun! Now it is super bloom of California poppy and the mountain sides are so gorgeous! The views are breathtaking ! Just be sure to take water for you and your furry friends)

Always a good workout, I walk from the bottom of two trees trail to the M and back, about 3 to 3 1/2 hours bout three times a week ..highly recommend.

Great hike. 1100-1200 elevation gain.

Heres a rundown of it by a 4-time visitor:How long?A: If youre by yourself the hike will take no longer than maybe 45 minutes to an hour. Going down is maybe half that time.How hard?A: From a scale of 1 to 10, 10 being impossible, I would rate this a 6.8. The beginning and very end will be tough due to steepness, but through most of the hike its a pretty level route, gradually going up.Route:A: The route is clear, one will not get lost if you arent familiar with it. Just follow dirt paths. Along the way there are 3 little areas that are good for resting for a few minutes.There are about 2 trails in the beginning but no worries, it all leads to one trail.And no, out of the 4 times I have been here, I have not seen a single snake on the route. Lots of Lizards and Geckos, though.Preparation:A: Just as any other hike. Lots of water, maybe some sunscreen if youre coming in the summer. I like to bring binoculars, for the view.Overall:Its a very good hike. I have seen many families on this trail. From start to finish, its about a total of 3 hours. A must if you are a local to the Riverside County area. From the peak on a clear day, you can see the entire Moreno Valley, and looking West, most of riverside ( if you have a good eye you can see Sycamore Highlands Park)With binoculars, believe it or not, you can pin point Ramona Expressway, Mission Inn, and, no kidding, on a CLEAR day, Lake Matthews.Questions?

Love to walk/hike this mountain it is hard but it feels so good to get to the top the vie is just beautiful

Good place for an afternoon hike to watch the sunset. Not many people at all the times Ive went so its nice to be secluded. Hike itself isnt difficult, just steep in certain sections.

Hiked here. It is especially good after a week of rain

Went for a hike with my daughter. We entered from Hidden Springs area to start the trail. It was somewhat difficult and definitely a workout climbing up the steep parts of the mountain. The path is easy to follow going up, but not so clear going down and we found ourselves off the path. We encountered a rattlesnake as we were coming down halfway, it was a very close call. We saw lots of caterpillars, lizards, and bees/ wasps (yikes). Watch your steps and always have first aid kit packed. Pretty shaken up from snakes, wont be going for a while, but thats there home so beware.

Great experience a little exhausting but great

Like it alot. I would come back. Great workout.

May is a beautiful time to visit and hike to the M!

Good hike 8 mile roundtrip from two tree trailhead

Hard but not undoable hike. Trails for beginners

Great hike. About 4.60 miles up and down depending on which trail you take. Good incline.

Great views from the top.

Great views of two cities, lots of RF radiation. Highly recommended.

Looks super cool at night, surprising those who live in moreno valley .

This place is really awesome,but somehow i think its unsafe

Great hike great cardio workout and nice view of the valley

Looks super cool at night, surprising those who live in moreno valley seeing the M glow up with many different colors. I like it, and sure everyone does also!

The perfect intermediate hike.

Decent views but lots of graffiti

Good place for an afternoon hike to watch the sunset.

Pretty good hike. The M is painted concrete. Its a shame people feel the need to tag rocks though. Save your graffiti art for the inner city please.

Its our first time we make it up there

Great hiking spot with friends or really anyone you seem to fancy, its not a very advanced trail either so anyone can do it!!! Its a must if your in moval!

Went for birthday. Definitely wasnt for beginner but did it anyways. A lot of fun. A bit hard to navigate but we made it.

Great views of two cities.

BEAUTIFUL

Its a tough but satisfying hike..great view

Good morning hike to the M. Nice workout and great views.

Great experience.

.good walk and nice view of the city

Fun hike, really enjoyed it! Would definitely go back again sometime!

Love it for a quick hike

Trails are confusing but just use Google maps. Does get really steep bring a stick. At the top its scary. Theres a parking lot at bottom just follow the closest trail.

The hike to the big M is a great challenging hike. Sure to get your blood flowing and your legs burning.Its about a two hour hike, roundtrip, but is filled with a great view and rewarding finish.Pack water and wear sun protection, as there is virtually no shade the entire hike.

The M is very nice, it takes a long time to hike up here, but its worth it. You get great views of the city and you get to see the M up close. There is a little too much graffiti however and the nearby cell stations seem a little sketchy, but overall its very nice.

Hike when you can!! We are so lucky to have this Mountain close to home. Hard work but lot of fun. Everytime I go it is a challenge. I feel the workout on my legs, great fat burning!

Awesome coffe

Love it its hard to get up there but its word it the view is amazing and plus you get to relax it feels good

I can see this M all the way from hill come down into Temecula on the 15 freeway from San Diego on a clear day. It used to be lite up. What happened? They need to have light up again it looks cool.

Nice trail. Very safe.

Love the view from the top. Theres a few trails leading up. Some are more challenging then others. They only light the M up with lights in December.

Walk up there all the time. Amazing view from up there. The trail is challenging in the beginning, but well worth it when you make it to the top! Just make it through the first 25 minutes and youre golden!

Damn I hella love this mountain. Its like a cross between a burnt out volcano and a tall hill.

Calves will hurt at first but you’ll get over it if your go is to make it to the M, just take small 2 minute breaks if you can’t take the tiredness of your legs.

If you dont work out I suggest working out before attempting this trail because I struggled but making it to the top was worth it!

A nice hike

Beautiful views :-)
