Chino Hills State Park

A 14,000-acre rolling grassland wilderness on the edge of the Los Angeles metro area. Spring wildflowers carpet the hills in vibrant colors. Over 90 miles of trails attract hikers, mountain bikers, and equestrians. The park protects increasingly rare Southern California walnut woodlands and native bunchgrass prairies. Wildlife includes mountain lions, bobcats, mule deer, and abundant birds. Telegraph Canyon was used by outlaws and bandits in the Wild West era. Sunset views from the ridges encompass distant mountain ranges. An oasis of wildland surprisingly close to dense urban development.
