About This Trail

Imported description

The trail is great for biking, jogging, running and walking. It is pet friendly with waste stations. It can be considered challenging if you start it from where you left off. This is a great trail for people of all ages. You will see lots of animals along the trail if you are lucky. It leads you to the new library. As you travel west, you will see a wide range of changes. Continue until you see the big powerline towers and cool little bridges. It wasn't a lot of shade along the entire trail. There are rest stops along the way.

It was the largest electric railway system in the world in the 1920s. Organized around the city centers of Los Angeles and San Bernardino, it connected cities in Los Angeles County, Orange County, San Bernardino County and Riverside County.
