We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of Sunset Bench yet from its own listing, the park's website or runner reviews — so those cells stay blank rather than guess. What is below comes straight from the listing and from reviewers' own words. 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.
What runners say about Sunset Bench
This place has such a huge energy where I feel so much connected and relaxed, I go to this trail whenever I'm in CA almost everyday and apend 6-8 hours there hiking and intentionally focusing on every nature sound around me.
Located at the top of the Monrovia upper clamshell trail sunset bench offers an amazing view of Monrovia and outlying areas, you can sit on the bench and gaze out at the valley below, the trail itself is a maintained fire road and not very strenuous.
Set this morning for out visiting some friends and family we've decided to take the dogs out for a walk and a new hiking trail but it'd be fun and interesting with my son Chris Nashville Tennessee
