Confirmed from Summitridge 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.

Rural Diamond Bar at it's best. Excellent trail system, only concern as other posters have mentioned is for signage as to what trail goes where...some are definitely not the correct trail. Fantastic distance views and the lower canyon trail is stunning.

★★★★★ — Morgan , Mar 2022

Very quiet hiking trail, dog friendly and parking is free. Beautiful view up the hills where you can see the freeway from where you stand. The trail itself is moderate yet quite long, just beware with snake from the bushes specially on warm/hot season coming soon on summer.

★★★★★ — Amanda , May 2024

I started at the top by the Diamondbar center parking lot & went clockwise around the perimeter of the hike. A nice up hill by steep canyon

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.
