Grizzly Flat Trail Description
For those SoCal adventurers who are after an enjoyable day on the trails with a mixture of terrain, plenty of shade, and a lovely natural setting, the Grizzly Flat Trail is a fantastic option to explore. Hikers should take note that the initial stretch of this hike is a bit steep, so make sure to wear proper hiking footwear with good support to better traverse the trail.
Setting out from the trailhead off CA-2, you will follow the path as it leads uphill to the northwest. Here, you will quickly gain elevation, as you work your way through the steep terrain in order to reach the top of the ridge.
Continuing along the trail, you will descend the opposite side of the ridge and keep on to the northwest to reach Grizzly Flat. From here, the trail will head further downhill to bring you to the banks of the Big Tujunga River and the Stonyvale Picnic Area. After pausing for a relaxing lunch, retrace your steps back over the ridge to return to the trailhead.
