Great hiking with a few short options of steeper routes paralleling the less arduous route. They all tie in together. Due to Covid19 pandemic, Still closed.

Really, not a bad experience at all. I would do this trail again for trail running as it’s perfect for that. I would rate it easy walking when you’re not going uphill. The views are wonderful. It’s too bad LA views are smoggy. I recommend going early in the am or late for a sunset view. Otherwise go in the winter at any time. Don’t forget your lanterns if you stay past dark !!

I really enjoyed the hike! Challenging especially at the end but very beautiful!! Fun and close by!

Very nice trail, small parking but you can park in the street, very good views.Friendly environment and safe.I highly recommend this place

Hellman is my local hike/trail and i am so grateful that it’s so close to home. Today i came with a friend and we arrived at 8:40am so we could get good parking. The park ranger opened the gates at 8:50am and we were able to go right in. Be aware that the parking for the hike is extremely limited and you are unable to park on the streets next to the entrance due to required permits. So arrive early if you want to make sure you get a spot. If you don’t, you will have to park a little far from the trail. There are several routes you can take while doing this hike. One is typically the harder than the other which is nice because you can change routes as you go. On a clear day the view from the top is spectacular!

Excellent trail for a beginner like me. Challenging trail, with steep incline and intense on the way down

Closed cause of covid! Beautiful trail. Great workout.

Great place to hike and please dont trash it

This was a great hike. It took me a while to find a parking spot but once I found it, was totally worth it. The hike up is pretty steep but the workout is totally worth it. Once you get to the top the views are amazing. Great view of LA and downtown LA. It wasn’t too busy which was great so you are able to enjoy your hike.

Good hike. Not for beginners or someone trying to do an easy hikw. Definitely bring water. Be prepared to get a workout.

Awesome place to go for a hike and destress on weekend.

Best place to go hike and get your workout. Go with someone and enjoy a nice walk.

Its located in Whittier right behind Rose Hill, the hiking area is called Puente Hill Habitat Preserve, there are many trails over there, but most of them are steep which makes a good workout ground, so its not suit for small children, and there is completely no shade, need prevent harm from the sun and bring plenty of water, the best time to visit this park should be spring.

I tried it out for the first time and its a great workout if you are looking for a challenging hike. The hills are steep and requires some endurance. It has beautiful views when you reach the hilltops! You can even see the Buddhist temple. The only downside is parking sucks, even if you go early. Its a residential area and requires a permit on most streets.

Quiet trail with low traffic. Amazing views of LA. Foot traffic only (No dogs/bikes allowed). Abundant wildlife and excellent geology.

Good for a hike,parking can be a bit hard to get so be patience . Their is parking in the structure but is always full and to park in the streets u can but be careful some of them is with permit. Good luck!

Great hike! I recommend bringing a bottle of water because there is absolutely no shade whatsoever. But overall its a great hike.

If youre a beginner this place is not for you.. its killer!!! Its pretty cool if you can hang and like these steep trails. Do not trust anyone who says its easy lol. Its actually way worse than it looks in these pictures. There isnt any shaded areas up here... there is a parking lot for maybe 12 to 20 cars.

Beautiful views. And it has long trails

Great place to hike. There are multiple places you can start from. Some start points have steeper incline then others. Its closed during the night.

Great hiking but not enough hours for most people

It is a great place to hike and get away from the city for a few hours

Great place to hike. There are 2 trails available. One trail is for beginners and has a smaller incline. The other trail is a steep incline for intermediate or advanced people. Also, your legs wobble when going down the mountain...

Interesting and awesome place. Turnbull canyon is amazing, as a resident or Whittier super lucky to live right next to the entrance of this trail.You can see downtown Los Angeles from here and the mountains that surround us.

Well kept trail with beautiful views.

This place used to be harder than it is now. Theyve blocked off some of the trail, but it still will give you a pretty good work out.

Always a great workout with nice views

Actually love going hiking and made my day mood good ️

Been coming here since the late 90sAlways a good cardio work out. Or maybe u need to get away and think. In any case great place for a walk, hike, and or jog. Enter on green leaf. The trails have been modified from years past. Starts of with very killer steep trails......Down side is parking. Even though they added parking spots.....sometimes u cant find one. And btw no parking on turn bull canyon rd entrance. those been eliminated.....sucks but I guess the residents had enough of all the traffic and people showing up. Also no bikes and seems like they are strictly enforcing all the rules and regulations as posted.

This trail will give you a serious cardio workout. If only I lived closer Id be here every week

Been coming here since 2005 back when I was in high school some has changed witch is sad some areas to hike are closed off now but still enjoy coming to hike in a place that isnt to far from downey

Great place to hike! Great incline through middle entrance!

No matter how many times uve been up, its always a hard hike but rewarding in the end. (IF u take up ALL the hills but, of course, theres also the ez n alt route) Enjoy!!

The trails are steep! First time hiking in a long time, made it to the top. Gave a great work out. Highly recommend you to try it out.

Good place to start your training hiking or running ..its a great beginners path...

My husband introduced this place to me and it became are favorite hiking trail! If you want to seriously work out your body this is for you! They have both beginner and challenging trails that split off. (but keep your eyes pealed you might miss the easier trail) we always want to challenge ourselves so just go for the tougher one. Youll leave sore! Its awesome!

This was a great hike. I will definitely going back again.

Great hike!Although Im pretty disappointed that the City of Whittier has approved for the park to open so late (9am) during the Summer is already so hot by 9am. And if youre caught hiking before 9am you will be cited. Saw this poor guy hiking back to the main entrance while the Ranger officer was waiting to open the gates-he got cited :(

Carry lots of water, nice hike but a lot I mean a lot of people. I usually hike where nobody is but I use if for a training hike before I go to the Sierras.

Great place for a hike. Maybe bring a date. Kinda gotta stick to the main trail now because of the overgrown brush

This place works u out from head to toe, love it. I would come back everyday if this was my backyard

Very steep hills for a great leg workout. It will get your heart going as well.

I love this hike for the workout options it offers. You can chose strenuous or medium. You can run, hike, or walk it slowly. You can do the whole thing or just the 1st, 2nd or 3rd up hill. Theres a trail with shade or without. Lots of people go there so youre never alone. Dogs are allow on a leash. Dont forget to bring water!

Great workout. It definitely is a challenge but worth the effort. The view at the peak is amazing.

A nice walk

Great workout place.Small parking.Beware of closing time so you wont get locked in with a parking ticket

Great views, not an easy hike steep incline at the start..

Hard vertical hike but worth it for the views and the workout.

Huh..... where do you park?Since the park opens 9-5 now, why not sell day permit for people who want to enjoy this beautiful trail?I am sure City of Whittier can figure something up about the parking.Went into City Hall their only suggestion, you can park at the parking structure and walk up to the trail head.Help local restaurants and shops.Once the people are done with the hike, go shop at local area, grab lunch or dinner.

I really enjoyed the view

Nice hike. Went to the water tank

Great Hike. You have the option of making this hike a moderate hike or a difficult hike. You can either go straight up or take the windy trails at a much less steeper incline.

Nice place to go. Unfortunately they took away the Mariposa trail (which US mountain bikers callA-side because we found that trail!) from mountain bikes. A little crowded on weekends but still a nice walk during the week.

BEAUTIFUL HIKING TRAILS

Great Hiking Place

Great trail but i find it pretty idiotic to have the trail open 9-5. people who work during the week like to so evening hikes and makes it impossible. what happened to sunrise to sunset??

Best hiking trail ever for something not to far away. Fantastic view from each of the peaks. You can see from the edge of New Port Beach High rises all the way to Palos Verdes cliffs, downtown Los Angeles, Hollywood sign, Pasadena and the foothills and a glimpse of Diamond Bar.

Its a killer hike. I love it

Big fan of this hike for its beauty within such a short distance. The biggest negative is that they are now a 9-5 operation when it used to be, and made much more sense. Sunrise to sunset

Calm and fun trail

Best workout of your life. Even if you only make it half way up you will still make gains. Give it a go. Nice view of LA and gorgeous bloom.

Love to hike here

Challenging trail, but not too technical. Beautiful views during sunset. Very short open hours compared to other hiking trails. It loses one star due to their short, unfair hours.

Nice on a Sunday, lost of routes to choose from excellent workout

Good place for a trail run

I’m not really sure how they go about trimming down the greenery but this trail is becoming slightly hard to navigate due to the overgrown bushes. It’s scary to have these trails become super narrow...the other day there was a HUGE rattle snake right next to me and i didn’t even realize it.

A great trailhead to have right in my own backyard :) the basic two mile trail is low to moderate, nice for the whole family.

Its a very good place to hiking

Nice views, harder workout than expected.

This used to be a great place to hike. Now theyve implemented such strict enforcements in the name of conservation that the only time its open is during the hottest hours of the day and when most people are at work. Theyve completely eliminated access to the TC trailhead to anyone but residents when more parking would have been useful. Other cities and trails can handle higher foot traffic; this is clearly not about conservation.

Nice hiking trails to go on a date

Great starter trail. Wish there was better parking.

Simply beautiful

Peaceful getaway from city people....yea I said it

If you really want some exercise, this is the place to hike, but it also has an easier route for intermediates

Great hike, but the parking sucks here.

Enjoyable and peaceful.love the view from the top of the hills

Endless stairmaster. We hiked up for 1.2 miles, about more than half felt like stairmaster. Then going down is toe killer. Highly recommend walking down backwards. But will do it again

No that good .for you not to go so many people. No parking

Been coming here for years. Dislike the new hours, though. We should be able to hike whenever we please.Also, one thing that really annoys me is the people with blue tooth speakers! Youre doing it all wrong! We come up here for tranquility, to escape the loud sounds of the city. Not to hear your music. You can do that at home. Absorb all that nature has to offer, tune into your thoughts and mind. You cannot hear rattle snakes and other animals with your music blaring. Please respect nature and others.

Hike is great, parking is limited, but park two blocks away is not rerestricted to permit only.

Great Park for a hike. Gate lock at 6

Good atmosphere. Moderate mountain climb.

Great for training up hill! On a beautiful clear day you can see close to 360°! Worth the trip up!

Nice hike especially for a good sunset. Parking is a bit tough. Watch for the no parking signs if you have to park on the street.

Good hike but way too crowded. prefer to enter hills through one of the other entrances

It is a great outdoor workout. Amazing views. There is always something new to appreciate.

Great fitness hike. But, the trail is littered with trash and graffiti. Still there are many amazing views.

This is a combination of the first hiking trail that i have been too. this was a great trail to visit. i hope to come back and hike again and again. this is a great beginner trail or a place to spring board and find other trails. this was my official unofficial first trail that i hiked and I suggest you come here too.

Good for your legs and lungs

Limited parking but the views from the trail are stupendous. You dont need to climb to far to get great shots of downtown LA and the beautiful mountains of San Gabriel and the snow covered peaks in front of Big Bear.

This used to be a great place, I grew up on these hills, but now the city of Whittier and the park rangers who administer these hills have killed the beauty that belongs for all to enjoy.The new hours and how they enforce them are nothing short of dehumanizing.I was recently locked in here and the park ranger made it a point to give me a citation, a white blonde blue eyed lady went on a power trip to the point of almost macing me and putting me on my knees. Keep your children away from her.

Great hiking trail. The top is rather steep so its great for a workout, even a leisurely walk will get your hear pumping. I take my dog here at least 2-3 times per week. Many different paths to take. You could spend 15 minutes or hours exploring the trails. Parking is limited though.

If your not used to hiking at all, this is not for you! The hills are too steep. But the view is beautiful!! Parking is very hard to find.

Nice hike with very steep parts or easy mild trials just pick which way you want. Heads up tho there is no parking ever n at 5 they will lock you in if you are parked or even if u just walked in they r ruthless with timing.Instagram@ Knoxville the fluffy dog

Great hike awesome view of downtown LA on one side and the mountains on the other

I made it 1/2 way to the top but its definitely not for beginners. It was a challenge to get up there but we made it. Also, as you get higher the trails are a bit narrow so keep a close eye on your kids if you take them with you.

Great place! here is some short story for you!One time in my chemistry class, while the teacher was talking, this guy asked loudly, “Does anyone have any lotion?” The teacher stopped talking as some girl gave him some hand lotion.The guy proceeds to slowly rub the lotion on his face as the whole class watches him in confusion.The teacher asks him what he’s doing, and he responds with “I forgot to moisturize this morning” and puts even more on his face.The teacher asks him to go to the hall to finish his moisturizing because he’s being a distraction, and after about 10 minutes he still hasn’t come back in, so someone opens the door to check and he’s still smearing lotion all over his face. He finally comes back in and hands the girl her lotion, and he’s used up half of it. Now people call him lotion boy.

Really steep, steep perfect for leg day

Great place to hike and is animal friendly, has some steep areas dont forget to take the correct shoes for a hike!
