Stone Canyon Trailhead

I see very little in any review here about the actual trail. It has been at least thirty years since I have hiked this trail but I remember it as an excellent hike. A fire, I think the Station Fire, burned this area (I could see the flames from where I lived) so I can't be sure what the trail is like now but there are a few things that are not likely to be different. I hope the fire did not burn all the trees, there were many that provided shade.

First, the beginning of the trail might be difficult to find. We must cross the stream to get to the trail and after some rain when the stream is flowing strong, crossing the stream might be undesirable.

This trail is on the North side of the mountain so it is more likely to get shade. I don't know of any other trail that is easily accessed from the south (in other words, from the City of Los Angeles) that is on the North side of the mountain.

As I recall, the hike up is relatively constant; there is no part that is especially steep and there is not much flat parts either.

Kind of dry..ned more trees gren areas

Very nice lil area.

It's a pretty place. It's pretty calm. There's a nice creek but didn't get pictures. Phone reception is almost non existent and beware of ticks I found one crawling on the car.
