WHITTIER NARROWS NATURAL AREA REVIEWS
Nice local nature area. Mostly flat and paved so easy hiking/bicycling. At the moment lots of water in the San Gabriel River due to recent storms so lots of running water and everything is nicely green. You can do a nice long hike either north towards the San Gabriels or South. A few bicycles, a couple of people on horseback and a few hikers. Plenty of parking at Whittier Narrows park.
One of my favorite places to take my wife and children for walks or just to get out of the house. Happy to say that it has improved drastically over the years..
It's a great family location with many things to do. Very large area with plenty of space for all.

BOSQUE DEL RIO HONDO REVIEWS
Favorite place to begin a hike. Connects to trails near and around Whittier narrows. Great place to find a location for portraits with beautiful landscapes, lush greens, flowers, birds and a view of the mountains. A lot of power lines and power towers so chose your compositions wisely.
Brought the family for a bike ride and we loved it. You not only get a good workout you also get to enjoy the great outdoors.
It is a magical place to go out with family or with your loved ones and special to take photos of I recommend them

SAN JOSE CREEK & SAN GABRIEL RIVER INTERSECTION REVIEWS
Nice bike path, right by the 605 freeway. You can actually see off the side of the freway. Beautiful scenery, and the river actually has water with lots of wildlife around. Besides the cyclist, people do ride horse's, and have seen people fishing in the creek. The bike path itself is really good, but at night is very dark. If riding at night, make sure to bring good bright lights.
Beautiful place nice for walking love the horses the bike trail goes all the way to East Long Beach
Wonderful time and a place to enjoy the outdoors and people were nice.
