Confirmed from Anaheim Hills Riding and Walking Trail's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Hiking area with trails that offer views and wildflowers.
What runners say about Anaheim Hills Riding and Walking Trail
“(2/20/23) Very well maintained wide trail, a little steep in the beginning but pretty flat to see the bloom.”
“It’s a great place for hiking, the mountains are green for now, beautiful views！there are several trails can choose from the entrance.”
Had an opportunity to spend an afternoon on this lovely trail. It is rated difficult, which I suppose is due to the many ups and downs that makes it such a delightful hike. On a Fri. in May, I only encountered three other sets of hikers and a couple of single cyclists.
California Poppies Super Bloom alert! (2/20/23) Very well maintained wide trail, a little steep in the beginning but pretty flat to see the bloom. Lots of neighborhood street parking (please be kind to the neighbors). Beautiful massive vibrant orange California Poppies, with many other native wild flowers.
Beautiful canyon next to Anaheim Hills. We came mid March noon and weather and picture are beautiful. We did 1.85 miles and love the hike. It’s doable for all ages
Highly recommended for hiking there. Hilly in some locations, but overall, it was a very pleasant hiking trail.
