Claremont Hills Wilderness Park

Great spot to come for a hike, and it connects to many other trails in the area. Parking is paid, $5 on the weekdays and $7 on weekends. The only downside is that it gets VERY crowded, sometimes you won't find parking in either lot. There's basically no other parking unless you go all the way down to the Vons. Just plan ahead and you'll have a great time, there's bathrooms and places to rest along the trail. Make sure to bring water!

I went early in the morning, right about the time they opened. Not many people there and best part is getting to watch the sunrise. Beautiful trail with lots of beautiful scenery. You can hike it solo or in a group, either way it's enjoyable. A little challenging, however the park has multiple locations with benches to catch your breath and rest, so you can be successful in completing. Get out there! You can do it!!

Very beautiful trail! Nice combination of uphill and down hill for the total loop of 5 miles. They have signs asking for one way walking and most people comply. One of my favorite morning walks/hikes. Parking is not free.
