My favorite local hike
Amazing canyon, chaparrel and ocean views; plus, a good trail to exercise on.
Beautiful views of canyon & ocean at every step, view of Catalina much of the trail, not too crowded, easy enough parking along street, gorgeous big houses on the other side. Many people with dogs. Flat dirt path, easy walk. I went on a Saturday at 11am.
What an amazing view! This is an easy trail, very walkable, or bikeable. It's about 1 1/2 miles from the street parking area on Pacific Island, to the area where it starts to turn down to Alicia. So it's a great 3 mile walk/jog/bike. There are great views the whole way (mostly valley with some ocean ad well). The trail is wide and packed dirt. It's mostly flat with a couple inclines that are noticeable. Easy, and a nice view the whole way with many nice houses to check out as well.
A nice, mostly flat (but not paved) trail overlooking the valley with glimpses of the ocean to the east. You will be exposed to the sun most of the trail, so plan for that on warm days. We did have a nice coastal breeze cooling us of on this recent July hike. The fairy nooks along the trail are fun for young kids to discover.
