The Best Hiking Trails in El Monte

Went here not to long ago decided to take the fam on a nature hike we took our baby and her stroller what a huge mistake on our end but when we finally made to the fall although small so amazing I just got into taking the weekend for nature hikes this was a great little hike but so awesome will most definitely be going back and highly recommend it hope you all enjoy when visiting I did see a bear but was too slow to photograph it also was my first time seeing that so I was a little shaken up hah

Great hiking place the trails are well maintained and other hikers are very friendly. You will have a great time when you choose Hellman to hike. Do stretch in parking lot because it is uphill in the beginning. Yes parking is an issue however just park a bit further away your are hiking after all.

Love this hike, but it was slightly better before I think when we used to live in Whittier. Now, you can't park by the nearby residence without that yellow permit. Parking by the hike entrance is limited to about 20 cars. Do take notice on where the sign begins and ends because if you don't, the fee is $55. So park south of Painter and Broadway, you shouldn't have a problem. Afterall, you're going to walk a lot anyways right? As for the hike, it's a slight uphill the whole way through.
