HELLMAN PARK

Hellman is my local hike/trail and i am so grateful that it’s so close to home. Today i came with a friend and we arrived at 8:40am so we could get good parking. The park ranger opened the gates at 8:50am and we were able to go right in. Be aware that the parking for the hike is extremely limited and you are unable to park on the streets next to the entrance due to required permits. So arrive early if you want to make sure you get a spot. If you don’t, you will have to park a little far from the trail. There are several routes you can take while doing this hike. One is typically the harder than the other which is nice because you can change routes as you go. On a clear day the view from the top is spectacular!

Hellman park is a nice hiking spot. Whittier has lots of trails and you can get lost!! So just be careful and keep note on your steps . Always safe to bring someone with you. This is a wild life trail and one never knows what kind of wild animal can come your way. Caring a stick is always helpful. If you like strap hills and nature you’ll enjoy the trail. Keep hydrated and be safe. Till next time.

Very nice hiking trail in Whittier!! Have been going here for a long time to get some exercise while also having great views of the city and mountains . I would say the trail is intermediate but it also has a few paths that are easier in case you get too tired.
